A SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 'Tender fascinating ... Lucid and illuminating' Robert Macfarlane
Funerary rituals show us what people thought about mortality how they felt about loss what
they believed came next. From Roman cremations and graveside feasts to deviant burials with
heads rearranged from richly furnished Anglo Saxon graves to the first Christian burial
grounds in Wales Buried provides an alternative history of the first millennium in Britain. As
she did with her pre-history of Britain in Ancestors Professor Alice Roberts combines
archaeological finds with cutting-edge DNA research and written history to shed fresh light on
how people lived: by examining the stories of the dead.PRE-ORDER CRYPT THE FINAL BOOK IN ALICE
