Regional Approaches to Mortuary Analysis: Alexander
In this volume, archaeologists offer a new direction for burial research by expanding the models for mortuary analysis from a site-specific to a regional level. Contributors explore how regional mortuary approaches allow the introduction of new questions about peer polity interactions and regional alliances-extending traditional settlement system and exchange analyses. This volume features case studies examining mortuary sites as components of the archaeological landscape.

This volume features case studies examining mortuary sites as components of the archaeological landscape. Booknews Papers from a symposium held by the Society for American Archaeology in 1991 provide an historical review of the archaeology of death from its foundation in social theory through its modern criticisms, and discuss landscapes and mortuary sites, mortuary analysis and identities, contributions to the field from biological anthropology, and expanding the models for mortuary analysis to a regional scale. Includes case studies and discussion on regions including the Illinois Valley, Neolithic Europe, Bronze Age Hungary, and Anglo-Saxon England. Annotation c.
