Riassunto

Building on Heinrich Härke’s influential research on burial archaeology and early medieval migrations, this book sets a new agenda for mortuary archaeology. Using archaeological data, the essays explore how mortuary practices have served in the makeup and expression of medieval social identities. Applying explicit theoretical perspectives to case studies based on a range of European sites, this bookfills the need for a volume that provides accessible material to students, engages with current debates in mortuary archaeology’s methods and theories, and explores the interpretation of medieval social identities through burial data.
