Reviews

The volume highlights the complex relationship between funerary treatment and wider social dynamics; it presents a strong and clear methodology on how to maximize the contribution of human remains to archaeological debates and recreation of past societies; and it provides a data set that is rich for future mining on a whole host of questions about Mycenaean society. -- American Journal of Archaeology
