About
Archaeologist dealing with ancient death ways.
DEATH IN THE MESOLITHIC is my PhD project, in full swing since April 2011.
I'm currently working on Late Mesolithic burial practices (c. 8000 years ago). These intentional burials represent a new attitude towards death and are arguably the first forms of cemeteries.
Key words of my research:
History of Death
Late Mesolithic
Archaeology of Death
Archaeothanatology
Ritual Theory
Identity
