Contributors to this landmark volume demonstrate that ancestor
veneration was about much more than claiming property rights-the
spirits of the dead were central to domestic disputes, displays of
wealth, and power and status relationships. Case studies from
China, Africa, Europe, and Mesoamerica use the evidence of art,
architecture, ritual, and burial practices to explore the complex
roles of ancestors in the past. Including a comprehensive overview
of nearly two hundred years of anthropological research, The
Archaeology of Ancestors reveals how and why societies remember and
revere the dead. Through analyses of human remains, ritual
deposits, and historical documents, contributors explain how
ancestors were woven into the social fabric of the living.
