Modern archaeology has amassed considerable evidence for the
disposal of the dead through burials, cemeteries and other
monuments. Drawing on this body of evidence, this book offers fresh
insight into how early human societies conceived of death and the
afterlife. The twenty-seven essays in this volume consider the
rituals and responses to death in prehistoric societies across the
world, from eastern Asia through Europe to the Americas, and from
the very earliest times before developed religious beliefs offered
scriptural answers to these questions. Compiled and written by
leading prehistorians and archaeologists, this volume traces the
emergence of death as a concept in early times, as well as a
contributing factor to the formation of communities and social
hierarchies, and sometimes the creation of divinities.
