John M. O'Shea explores this question by employing modern
archaeological theory and analysis as well as mortuary theory to
build a model of an Early Bronze Age society in the eastern
Carpathian Basin. He focuses on the Maros communities and utilizes
the densely encoded social information from their cemeteries to
draw a picture of the Maros' social systems.

The archaeological site at Killarney Bay, on the northeast side of
Georgian Bay in Ontario, Canada, has attracted and mystified
archaeologists for decades. The quantities of copper artifacts,
exotic cherts, and long-distance trade goods all highlight the
importance of the site during its time of occupation. Yet
researchers have struggled to date the site or assign it to a
particular cultural tradition, since the artifacts and mortuary
components do not precisely match those of other sites and
assemblages in the Upper Great Lakes. The history of archaeological
investigation at Killarney Bay stretches across parts of three
centuries and involves field schools from universities in two
countries (Laurentian University in Canada and the University of
Michigan in the United States). This volume pulls together the
results from all prior research at the site and represents the
first comprehensive report ever published on the excavations and
finds at Killarney Bay. Heavily illustrated.
