SESSIONS ABSTRACT
In recent years, archaeology has undergone a series of rapid developments in both
theoretical and methodological approaches to death and burial. Excavation and
documentation techniques such as archaeothanatology, as well as developments in
bioarchaeology such as the application of aDNA analysis and other cutting edge research,
has meant that human remains are increasingly important in the field.
By incorporating the growing variety of new methods, techniques and theoretical
approaches used in the archaeology of death and burial, this session aims to explore new
avenues for interpreting funerary behaviourssystematically through time and space.
For mapping the current state of the research in the field we are calling for papers to
discuss both theories and methods in the realm of funerary archaeology.
What are the methodologies from the variety of sciences that can be used in studying
funerary practices? Which of them have been effective, dismissed or have gained far too
little attention? What are the possibilities for bridging theory and method in the study of
prehistoric funerary practices?
Case studies from a variety of temporal and geographical contextswill serve as the basis
for discussion of future directions in funerary archaeology.
A warm welcome to all of you wishing to discuss theory & method in funerary contexts!
Submit your paper through the EAA2014 website (deadline January 27):
