Abstract

Burials play a particularly important role in understanding ancient cultures because, presumably, they provide insight into the most important objects of a belief system. People bury their dead with objects essential to the afterlife, which means the artifacts from burials may provide crucial information as archaeologists try to reconstruct their world.
