Rezensionen

'This volume by Pettitt, which represents the first comprehensive survey of Palaeolithic mortuary activity in the English language..., is a long overdue, and very welcome, addition to the large corpus of literature on the subject... [it] forms a useful scholarly text; both for the Palaeolithic student and researcher, and on discussion with colleagues, those interested in burial archaeology as a whole. While the title suggests a clear focus on Palaeolithic human burial, this actually undersells the scope of the volume, whose striking feature is the consideration of the full range of past hominin mortuary activity.' - Archaeological Review from Cambridge
