Reviews
'Prioritizing Death and Society' elegantly illustrates the power of the comparative approach and the methods of archaeology to generate new insights into human societies of the past and present. This book is essential reading for all archaeologists. - Katina T. Lillios, University of Iowa, USA In this disciplined, boundary-transgressing study, Nativ offers archaeologists a profoundly thoughtful gift, showing how material discourses and negotiations surrounding death reveal deep truths about the societies that produced them. - Raphael Greenberg, Tel Aviv University, Israel
"""A much-needed analysis of the rich dataset for Chalcolithic burials. Comparative analysis of more recent cemeteries highlights aspects of Chalcolithic activity that might otherwise have escaped comment. Nativ has made an important contribution: it deserves a wide audience."" - Graham Philip, University of Durham ""Elegantly illustrates the power of the comparative approach and the methods of archaeology to generate new insights into human societies of the past and present.
