This study forms an ethnoarchaeological analysis of the life cycle
rituals from the funeral practice and its manifestation in the
mortuary remains of Brahmans and Magars in Central Dhaulagiri zone
of Nepal'. It is largely based on first-hand experience of funerals
and explores the religious and cosmological ideas surrounding death
and the afterlife, what death represents for the living and the
rites and rituals performed to the deceased. In the final chapter,
Oestigaard considers how this evidence can help us interpret the
burials of the past and re-appraise our Christianised views of
death.
