The Cemetery of Noviomagus and the Wealthy Burials of the Municipal Elite
Author: Annelies Koster
Publisher:
ISBN: 9789068291032
Category : Batavi (Germanic people)
Languages : en
Pages : 463
Book Description
During excavations in the cemetery of the town of Noviomagus in Nijmegen-west archaeologists of the Radboud University of Nijmegen discovered the remains of a series of monumental burial complexes comprising walled enclosures and funerary monuments, and associated rich burials dating from the end of the 1st century AD. The aim of this publication is to establish whether these burials show influences from the Roman world and have cultural and religious connections with the Mediterranean, or whether they reflect indigenous traditions. Closely linked to this are questions concerning the status and ethnic background of the buried persons, for which the burial ritual, funerary customs and grave goods may provide clues. The high economic and social status of this group and its cultural and political alliance with Rome and the imperial family are evident from the monumental burial complexes and certain grave goods.

Rituals of Power
Author: Frans Theuws
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004477551
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 515
Book Description
13 papers by 16 leading archaeologists and historians of late antiquity and the early middle ages break new ground in their discussion, analysis and criticism of present interpretations of early medieval rituals and their material correlates. Some deal with rituals relating to death, life cycles and the circulation in other contexts of objects otherwise used in the burial ritual. Others are concerned with the symbolism and ideology of royal power, the formation of a political ideology east of the Rhine from the mid-5th century onwards, and penance rituals in relation to Carolingian episcopal discourse on ecclesiastical power and morale. All deal with the creation of new identities, cultures, norms and values, and their expression in new rituals and ideas from the period of the Great Migrations through the Later Roman Empire down to the society of Beowulf and the later Carolingians.

The Routledge Handbook of Archaeothanatology
Author: Christopher J. Knüsel
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351030612
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 768
Book Description
The Routledge Handbook of Archaeothanatology spans the gap between archaeology and biological anthropology, the field and laboratory, and between francophone and anglophone funerary archaeological approaches to the remains of the dead and the understanding of societies, past and present. Interest in archaeothanatology has grown considerably in recent years in English-language scholarship. This timely publication moves away from anecdotal case studies to offer syntheses of archaeothanatological approaches with an eye to higher-level inferences about funerary behaviour and its meaning in the past. Written by francophone scholars who have contributed to the development of the field and anglophone scholars inspired by the approach, this volume offers detailed insight into the background and development of archaeothanatology, its theory, methods, applications, and its most recent advances, with a lexicon of related vocabulary. This volume is a key source for archaeo-anthropologists and bioarchaeologists. It will benefit researchers, lecturers, practitioners and students in biological anthropology, archaeology, taphonomy and forensic science. Given the interdisciplinary nature of these disciplines, and the emphasis placed on analysis in situ, this book will also be of interest to specialists in entomology, (micro)biology and soil science.
