Mensch – Körper – Tod
Der Umgang mit menschlichen Überresten im Neolithikum Mitteleuropas

Dies ist unter anderem auf die in der westlichen Welt vorherrschende Idealvorstellung von Totenruhe und der Deponierung eines Körpers an einem, oft separat dafür vorgesehenen Ort zurückzuführen.
In der letzten Zeit gerieten jedoch Depon...
