Funerary Archaeology and Changing Identities
This book analyses in detail the funerary evidence from burial sites in southern and central Sardinia, proposing an alternative interpretation of the island and of other Roman Provinces in which local communities played an active and creative role in shaping back the Roman-world within the specific material and historical conditions they lived in.
Burial and Memorial in Late Antiquity
Burial and Memorial explores funerary and commemorative archaeology A.D. 284-650, across the late antique world.

We also hear from excavations in Britain, from Canterbury and London, and see astonishing fruits from the application of science to graves recently excavated in Trier.

Early modern Orientalism is usually conceived as an episode in the history of scholarship. By shifting the focus to Aleppo, A...
