Welcome to the last session of the Cremations in Archaeology conference! #CIA22

In this session, research questions about pyre technology and funerary practices will be explored! 🔥🪵⚰️⚱️ Image
Not all cremations are alike! Jo Appleby uses a chaîne opératoire approach to investigate the complexity, creativity and variability in the cremation processes and practices in British Bronze Age sites 🔥
Pyre settings matter! Michaela Fritzl presents experimental pyre research on how cremation and interment changes metal, ceramic and textile artefacts. This provides a crucial insight into how ritual is recorded in the archaeological record!
