This volume, the first of two dealing with the Early Iron Age deposits from the Athenian Agora, publishes all the tombs from the end of the Bronze Age through the transition from the Middle Geometric to Late Geometric period. An introduction deals with the layout of the four cemeteries of the period, the topographical ramifications, periodization, and a synthesis of Athens in the Early Iron Age. Individual chapters offer a complete catalogue of all the tombs and their contents, an analysis of the human remains from the inhumations and cremations and of the fauna found in graves, and a full analysis of the burial customs and funerary rites. The pottery and other small finds deposited in tombs are covered in two chapters. An anticipated second volume will deal with the material from all the non-funerary contexts.

Créée en mai 1590 dans l’urgence d’une épidémie de peste naissante, l’infirmerie de peste des Fédons ne fut utilisée que durant trois à quatre mois puis disparut ensuite rapidement du paysage et de la mémoire des habitants de la bourgade provençale de Lambesc. C’est à l’occasion des travaux du TGV Méditerranée entrepris en 1996 qu’une opération de sauvetage archéologique, conduite par l’Institut national de recherches archéologiques préventives (INRAP), permit la découverte du cimetière associé à cette infirmerie. La fouille exhaustive de l’espace funéraire a fourni de nombreux témoignages matériels autour desquels les compétences les plus diverses ont été déployées pour retracer l’histoire de cette infirmerie et son fonctionnement mais aussi pour caractériser ses patients. Il apparaît ainsi que, lieu de quarantaine autant que lieu de soin, l’infirmerie de peste était régie par des pratiques et des objectifs sanitaires bien éloignés des tableaux catastrophistes souvent dressés dans la littérature et l’art figuré. L’analyse de cet échantillon ostéologique de 133 individus, unique en son genre, a offert l’opportunité d’appréhender les comportements funéraires, l’organisation et la gestion des morts dans ce contexte culturel très particulier. La mise en œuvre de la plupart des outils de l’anthropologie (démographie, paléopathologie, etc.) a également permis de préciser le recrutement de l’infirmerie - toute la population infestée n’y trouvait pas place - et la ponction démographique opérée par l’épidémie - les populations et les autorités réagissaient différemment selon l’espacement et l’intensité des crises. L’échantillon osseux a également été mis à profit pour des investigations originales dans le domaine de la biologie moléculaire, en vue de l’identification du bacille de la peste ou de la détermination de la saison de la mort à partir du cément dentaire.

From the late 18th to the early 20th century, northern Luristan was dominated by feuding tribal leaders, more or less independent of the Qadjar State. The religious concepts of the illiterate Luristani nomads of this period are reflected in the iconography of the pictorial tombstones. Inge Demant Mortensen's book on the Luristani Pictorial Tombstones is primarily based on her studies of the nomadic cemeteries during her fieldwork in Luristan in the 1970s. Her focus is on the testimony of the pictorial tombstones and the religious messages and connotations they reveal. As a background for the interpretation of these messages, she makes an attempt to establish the historical, social, and religious context of the cemeteries, and to identify the tribal identity of the nomads residing or moving from winter to summer pastures within the plains and valleys of northern Luristan, where the pictorial stelae and obelisks occur.
