This volume gathers the individual presentations from The
International Meeting: Recent Prehistory Enclosures and Funerary
Practices. From England to Germany, from Portugal to Italy, the
individual papers present this cohesive European trend in
Prehistory, that of enclosing, and the particular relationship
between enclosures and prehistoric funerary practices and
manipulations of the human body. Through a plurality of approaches,
the volume covers several European regions, providing an overview
of how prehistoric Europeans dealt with their dead, and how they
experienced and organized their world. From cremating to
dismembering bodies, from skulls used as cups to naturalistic
anthropomorphic ivory figurines, from fragmented pottery to animal
limbs, from deviance to collectiveness, this volume ranges all the
different practices currently discussed in European Prehistory. The
first paper, by Alasdair Whittle, poses as an introduction to the
theme of enclosures throughout Europe, focusing his approach on
time and timing of enclosure. Alex Gibson then takes us through the
middle and late Neolithic British enclosures and Jean-Noel Guyodo
and Audrey Blanchard through those of Western France. The
Portuguese enclosures follow, with papers both on walled and
ditched enclosures, by the hand of Antonio Valera, Ana Maria Silva,
Claudia Cunha, Filipa Rodrigues, Michael Kunst, Anna Waterman, Joao
Luis Cardoso and Susana Oliveira Jorge. Moving East, Andrea
Zeeb-Lanz discusses the cannibalistic premise regarding the
funerary remains from the Neolithic site of Herxheim (Germany).
Andre Spatzier, Marcus Stecher, Kurt W. Alt. and Francois Bertemes,
on the other hand, focusing on the remains from a henge like
enclosure near Magdeburg (Germany), explore the premise of violence
and war-like scenarios. To the south, Alberto Cazzella and Giullia
Recchia write about a copper age enclosure near Conelle di Acervia
(Italy) and Patricia Rios, Corina Liesau and Concepcion Blasco take
through the funerary practices of Camino de las Yeseras (Spain).
