Summary

The workshop will consider burials from the Mesolithic up to the medieval period in Europe which occur in places other than those ‘normal’ for the period, e.g. outside cemeteries and barrows. These occur in caves, wetlands, settlements, rivers, mines, at crossroads with metal hoards and metal-working debris and on coasts. It will bring together archaeologists and physical anthropologists from across Europe to discuss methods and patterns in the evidence.
