Short Description
The 10th volume of the Beiträge zur Islamischen Kunst und Archäologie offers an overview of the extent and complexity of funerary culture in Islamic contexts as attested by visual and material evidence, and the variety of methodological approaches and disciplinary perspectives its study requires. The nine essays forming the core of the volume focus on human remains, burials, cemeteries, monumental structures and complexes, inscriptions, manuscripts, paintings, and photographs. They cover almost all the regions of the dār al-Islām, spanning from the 7th century up to the present, and involve field archaeology and physical anthropology, history of architecture, epigraphy, art history, gender studies, social history, and anthropology.
