Death rituals, social order and the archaeology of immortality in the ancient world : "death shall have no dominion". / Colin Renfrew. , New York ; Cambridge University Press , 2016. xxiii, 443 pages : illustrations, maps ; 29 cm. 1979 "Modern archaeology has amassed considerable evidence for the disposal of the dead through burials, cemeteries and other monuments. Drawing on this body of evidence, this book offers fresh insight into how early human societies conceived of death and the afterlife. The twenty-seven essays in this volume consider the rituals and responses to death in prehistoric societies across the world, from eastern Asia through Europe to the Americas, and from the very earliest times before developed religious beliefs offered scriptural answers to these questions. Compiled and written by leading prehistorians and archaeologists, this volume traces the emergence of death as a concept in early times, as well as a contributing factor to the formation of communities and social hierarchies, and sometimes the creation of divinities."- Death Social aspects Forntiden Human remains (Archaeology) Archaeology Colin Renfrew BOOK 61418 61418 0 0 ddc 0 1 SNUL SNUL 2024-02-01 Brijwasi Book Distributors 1979.00 0 306.90901 REN 30021 2024-02-01 00:00:00 2024-02-01 BOOK
