Life and Death in Asia Minor combines contributions in both
archaeology and bioarchaeology in Asia Minor in the period ca. 200
BC - AD 1300 for the first time. The archaeology topics are
wide-ranging including death and territory, death and landscape
perception, death and urban transformations from pagan to Christian
topography, changing tomb typologies, funerary costs, family
organization, funerary rights, rituals and practices among pagans,
Jews, and Christians, inhumation and Early Byzantine cremations and
use and reuse of tombs. The bioarchaeology chapters use DNA,
isotope and osteological analyses to discuss, both among children
and adults, questions such as demography and death rates, pathology
and nutrition, body actions, genetics, osteobiography, and mobility
patterns and diet. The areas covered in Asia Minor include the
sites of Hierapolis, Laodikeia, Aphrodisias, Tlos, Ephesos, Priene,
Kyme, Pergamon, Amorion, Gordion, Bogazkale, and Arslantepe. The
theoretical and methodological approaches used make it highly
relevant for people working in other geographical areas and time
periods. Many of the articles could be used as case studies in
teaching at schools and universities. An important objective of the
publication has been to see how the different types of results
emerging from archaeological and natural science studies
respectively could be integrated with each other and pose new
questions on ancient societies, which were far more complex than
historical and social studies of the past often manage to transmit.
