Book Review of Mortuary Variability and Social Diversity in Ancient Greece: Studies on Ancient Greek Death and Burial, edited by Nicolas Dimakis and Tamara M. Dijkstra

Abstract

This collected volume is the result of the international workshop for early-career scholars titled “Mortuary Variability and Social Diversity in Ancient Greece,” held at the Netherlands Institute at Athens, 1–2 December 2016. The contributors’ mutual interest in the burial practices of ancient Greece led to the occasion for a synthetic presentation of old and new archaeological data. These studies encompass a large chronological range from the Early Iron Age to the Roman period, as well as a geographical range that covers southern Greece, the Aegean Islands, and Crete.
