This timely publication moves away from anecdotal case studies to offer syntheses of archaeothanatological approaches with an eye to higher-level inferences about funerary behaviour and its meaning in the past. Written by francophone scholars who have contributed to the development of the field and anglophone scholars inspired by the approach, this volume offers detailed insight into the background and development of archaeothanatology, its theory, methods, applications, and its most recent advances, with a lexicon of related vocabulary.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume is a key source for archaeo-an\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWinner of the European Association of Archaeologists Archaeology Book Prize 2023\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'For too long, language has divided French and English-speaking researchers over approaches to the archaeology of death.
