The study of burial practices, of human attitudes and behaviour in
the face of death, has been an important part of archaeological
research from its very beginnings. Some funerary discoveries have
achieved sensational fame. Yet beyond this the archaeological
community quickly came to understand that it is possible to gain as
much information about the lives of past people from studying their
funerary behaviour as it is from studying their daily activities
and the resultant artefacts. This volume gathers together the
majority of the papers presented at the International Symposium on
Funerary Anthropology, 'Homines, Funera, Astra', which took place
at '1 Decembrie 1918' University of Alba Iulia, 5-8 June 2011. The
theme of the conference, aimed to address the investigation of
