Synopses

Crypt

Human remains preserved in tombs, graves and crypts can reveal details that written records often overlook. By combining archaeology with cutting-edge scientific methods, this book examines burials to build a more intimate and inclusive view of the Middle Ages, reaching beyond the lives of the rich and powerful.

Buried

Funerary rituals offer a direct lens on mortality, loss and belief. Moving from Roman cremations and graveside feasts to deviant burials, richly furnished Anglo-Saxon graves and the first Christian burial grounds in Wales, it presents an alternative history of Britain’s first millennium.

Ancestors

This exploration of Britain’s earliest people looks beyond the familiar starting point of the Roman arrival. Drawing on burial sites and new technology used to analyse ancient DNA, it is told through seven burial locations and considers how people came and went, and how life on the island took shape.
