Based on the author's PhD thesis, this volume examines the
possibility of a cult of the dead among the Mycenaean
civilisations. Focusing on the period 1425/1390-1190/1180 BC, and
drawing largely on archaeological evidence from tholos and chamber
tombs from the regions of the Argolid and Corinthia, Attica and
Samalis, Boeotia and Euboea, Gallou puts her theoretical ideas
about the recognition of acts of ancestor veneration into action.
Highlighting certain diagnostic traits among the evidence, she
assesses the presence of notions of an afterlife, respect shown for
the deceased, changes to tomb design and the funerary landscape as
a whole, and differentiation among the burial facilities, offerings
and acts associated with the dead.
