Links between Megalithism and Hypogeism in Western Mediterranean Europe (Italian, Paperback, New)

Among other objectives, this collection of papers investigates the role that settlements surrounding necropolises have played in the evolution of megalithic and hypogean graves and their relationship to the development of collective burial ritual through consideration of collective burial ritual as a means of masking social differences.
