Description: This volume examines the post-depositional interactions of past humans and the way that graves and human remains were approached by people in the past.

Brief description: Edeltraud Aspöck is a researcher at the Austrian Academy of Sciences, where she carried out the project 'Microtaphonomy and interpretation of reopened graves' and projects in digital archaeology. She obtained her PhD at the University of Reading in 2009. Her research interests are mortuary archaeology, the early Medieval period and digital archaeology.

Review Quotes: "The volume is a must for all those with an interest in funerary archaeology: disturbed remains, previously largely ignored or viewed as insignificant, can be considered with fresh eyes - a paradigm has been shifted."-- "Current World Archaeology"
