Abstract
Examines complex cultural meanings of manipulation of remains after death and combines social theory and bioarchaeology to examine how the living manipulate the bodies of the dead for social purposes. From prehistoric to modern and old world to the new, humans have a relationship with the dead that doesn't cease with physical death.--Provided by publisher.
