Description
Buried: An Alternative History of the First Millennium in Britain
By examining the stories of the dead, Professor Alice Roberts sheds fresh light on how people lived in Britain during the first millennium. This book explores the funerary rituals that reveal what people thought about mortality, loss, and the afterlife, from Roman cremations and graveside feasts to deviant burials and richly furnished Anglo Saxon graves.
Combining archaeological finds with cutting-edge DNA research and written history, Buried provides a unique perspective on the lives of our ancestors.
