What is it about?
The study of burial practices is important for understanding the cultural development, religious ideas, and political culture of the Greek world. Since ceremonies connected with burial are well known only from the late Archaic period, the investigation of early Greek burials has to concentrate on cemeteries and objects found in graves; the survey otherwise is chronological with excurses on general topics such as funeral art or specific rituals.
