Recenzje

Tombs are among the most meaningful archaeological evidence that help to reconstruct past societies. Discussions on, and presentations of, the most recent methodological advances, i.e. theory and fieldwork techniques, in funerary archaeology constitute a very important part of archaeological bibliography internationally. The edited volume, Death in Late Bronze Age Greece, belongs to this corpus of contributions with a particular focus on the Late Bronze Age period in Greece...The book contains papers dealing with various areas of the Aegean, types of tombs, funerary practices, a wide range of methodological issues, and a variety of approaches towards funerary archaeology.
