Theoretical and Quantitative Approaches to the Study of Mortuary Practice

By Feldore McHugh

A substantial volume geared towards theoretical approaches to burial data. The author looks at the social dimensions of mortuary evidence and the implimentation of multivariate analysis, in particular in highlighting age, gender, social status distinctions and differentiation, and differential ceremonial treatments of the bodies. A large proportion of the volume is given over to modelling artificial cemeteries and analysing its usability.
