Dealing with the dead

Dealing with the dead
About this book
"The papers of this volume explore how prehistoric Scandinavian burial ritual and religion can be interpreted and understood within contemporary Swedish contract archaeology. Emphasis is placed upon the interpretation of the actual dealings with the dead, the graves, the monuments, and with burial-grounds in the landscape. The examples range from the Neolithic to the conversion to Christianity during the late Viking Age."--BOOK JACKET.
