Evidence for the disposal of the dead is one of the most common classes of archaeological data; in both prehistoric and historic contexts, archaeologists have long used the remains of death and burial as a source for interpretations of society, culture and ethnic identity. This volume, bringing together studies on the disposal of the dead, explores the frontiers and potential of research and presents critical appraisals of theory about social organisation and culture change. It contains case studies from both North America and Europe and themes include the complex social factors behind burial...

Training Specialists come in all shapes and sizes, and possess varying skills to help participants learn and understand. We cover every industry that exists, from financial contact centers, to personal fitness, to manufacturing industries, to defense. The tools and expertise used depends largely upon the management staff at any organization. The level of engagement of management has much to do with how a "trainer" flexes their knowledge, and helps drive superior business results. The purpose of this book is to provide, based on my years of experience in learning and development, a common...

How do archaeologists make effective use of physical traces and material culture as repositories of evidence?
Material Evidence takes a resolutely case-based approach to this question, exploring instances of exemplary practice, key challenges, instructive failures, and innovative developments in the use of archaeological data as evidence. The goal is to bring to the surface the wisdom of practice, teasing out norms of archaeological reasoning from evidence.
Archaeologists make compelling use of an enormously diverse range of material evidence, from...
How do archaeologists make effective use of physical traces and material culture as repositories of evidence?
How do archaeologists work with the data they identify as a record of the cultural past? How are these data collected and construed as evidence? What is the impact on archaeological practice of new techniques of data recovery and analysis, especially those imported from the sciences?
To answer these questions, the authors identify close-to-the-ground principles of best practice based on an analysis of examples of evidential reasoning in archaeology that are widely regarded as successful, contested, or instructive failures. They look at how archaeologists put old evidence to work in...
