Description
Crypt burials, rooted in Christian traditions, were closely tied to social status, economic privilege, and commemorative practice. This book explores the cultural and material dimensions of these burials in Early Modern Europe, including funerary preparation and preservation, demonstrating their value as a focus for multidisciplinary research. Drawing on approaches from bioarchaeology, material culture studies, social history, and archival research, it provides a framework for the study of these complex burial environments.
