Applying explicit case studies based on a range of European sites (from Scandinavia to Britain, Southern France to the Black Sea), 'Mortuary Practices and Social Identities in the Middle Ages' fulfills the need for a volume that provides accessible material to students and engages with current debates in mortuary archaeology's methods and theories.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book builds upon Heinrich Härke's influential research on burial archaeology and early medieval migrations, focusing in particular on his ground-breaking work on the relationship between the theory and practice of burial archaeology. Using diverse archaeological and historical data, the essays explore how mortuary practices have served in the make-up and expression of medieval social identities. Themes explored include masculinity, kinship, ethnicity, migration, burial rites, genetics and the perception of landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Duncan Sayer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0859898318\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780859898317\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Liverpool University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/27\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.93h x 8.07w x 0.98d","brand":"Duncan Sayer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48087023124735,"sku":"9780859898317","price":160.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_15b3df77-04b5-48a0-8f39-a64aa514a1e1.jpg?v=1769097854","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mortuary-practices-and-social-identities-duncan-sayer-9780859898317","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
