Death inBa'ja
Sepulchral Identity and Symbolism in an Early Neolithic Community of the Transjordanian Highlands. Household and Death in Ba'ja 2
The publication Death in Baja presents for the first time a comprehensive account of the grave findings from the 9,000-year-old settlement of Baja in southern Jordan. It is the second volume of the final publication of the DFG Household and Death project. The unexpectedly lavishly decorated children graves shed new light on the late Pre-Pottery Neolithic period of the southern Levant. An empirical synthesis and archaeothanatological interpretation are provided before presenting the grave findings in detail, as well as eleven additional archaeological, analytical, and bioanthropological analyses and three contributions on the restoration of a unique necklace and on the reconstruction of the grave from which it came.
