Burial Practices in Roman Britain by Philpott, Robert - 1991

Oxford: Tempvs Reparatvm, 1991. First Edition. Wraps. Very good. The present study takes as its starting point the recognition that no survey has attempted to examine the development of burial practice over the whole of the Roman period in Britain [...] it seeks to define the burial traditions current in Roman Britain through an examination of the treatment of the grave, the use of a container for the body or cremated remains, the body position and treatment, and the type and combinations of grave furniture, and to determine the duration and geographical extent of the rites." BAR British Series 219. Quarto: viii, 472 p. with 44 text tables, 38 tables of burial types, and 35 figures. Original printed blue paper wrappers. Some light fading along the extremities; otherwise very good.
