See CRICOS-registered alternativesCemeteries are arguably the most ubiquitous site-types in the archaeological record, providing the greatest portion of artefacts, ecofacts, features, texts and artistic representations from which archaeologists and historians have based their reconstructions of the past. Cemeteries are also arguably the most challenging site-type to interpret due to the complexity and variability of mortuary behaviour, both within and across cultures. This unit embraces 'complexity' and 'variability' as opportunities to consider how different societies and cultures dealt with the biological imperative of death. By encompassing the fields of archaeology, history, theory, biology, social and cultural studies, politics, and economics, this interdisciplinary unit invites students to consider the enduring tendency of death to provide individuals and groups with a stage to articulate the complexity, variability and meaning of life.
