The Archaeology of Death: Proceedings of the Seventh Conference of
Italian Archaeology held at the National University of Ireland,
Galway, April 16-18, 2016 includes more than 60 papers, with
contributors from the British Isles, Italy and other parts of
continental Europe, and North and South America, which consider
recent developments in Italian archaeology from the Neolithic to
the modern period. Each region of Italy is represented, with
specific sections of the volume devoted to Etruria, South Italy,
and Sicily. Other sections have a chronological focus, including
Italian Prehistory, the Roman period, and Post Antiquity. Following
the primary theme of the meeting, the majority of papers revolve
around the archaeology of death; numerous contributions analyse the
cultural significance of death through examinations of funerary
rituals and mortuary practices, while others analyse burial data
for evidence of wider social and political change. Various papers
consider new and recent discoveries in Italian archaeology, while
others ask fresh questions of older datasets. In addition, a number
of contributions showcase their employment of new methodologies
deriving from technological innovations. The volume opens with a
dedicatory section to mark the achievements of the Accordia
Research Institute, and to celebrate the careers of two of its
founders, Ruth Whitehouse and John Wilkins. The following paper(s)
are available to download in Open Access: Cremation structures and
funerary dynamics in Roman Veneto. New perspectives from
Padua/Patavium - Cecilia Rossi and Irene Marini: Download
