A SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 'Tender, fascinating ... Lucid and
illuminating' Robert Macfarlane Funerary rituals show us what
people thought about mortality; how they felt about loss; what they
believed came next. From Roman cremations and graveside feasts, to
deviant burials with heads rearranged, from richly furnished Anglo
Saxon graves to the first Christian burial grounds in Wales, Buried
provides an alternative history of the first millennium in Britain.
As she did with her pre-history of Britain in Ancestors, Professor
Alice Roberts combines archaeological finds with cutting-edge DNA
research and written history to shed fresh light on how people
lived: by examining the stories of the dead.
