Indhold: Archaeologists often feel that they are particularly close to the past when they are dealing with the dead. This course explores the many ways in which the dead can be disposed of, thought aboutt, and made meaningful both in the past and the present. Taking an explicitly theoretical approach, themes such as sacrifice, corporeality, emotion and commemoration will be explored. Examples are primarily drawn from Egypt and Sudan, but the development of archaeologies of death are situated within a broader historical and geopgraphical context.
