Who owns the past? Are museum archives and their re-collections of cultural heritage a cult of the dead-and if so, are we living in a necropolis? This book on photography, cemeteries, and the archive evolved out of an experimental research project at the Bibliotheca Hertzianain Rome, with its immense collection of canonic photographs from the history of art and architecture. An artist's book, it takes on the form of a description of an unfinished film in five acts-a cinematic fragment, so to speak: Dopostoria. The title essay by Christoph Keller is complemented by two contributions on burial cultures in prehistory and in modernity from the archaeologist Maria Clara Martinelli and the modern historian Carolin Kosuch. A sequence of collages at the back of the book conjures up a phantasmagorical journey through an ancient-modern Rome.

Depuis plusieurs décennies, le rapport à la mort et aux morts connaît une véritable mutation dans la société occidentale. Transformations des rites funéraires, notamment sous l'effet de la déchristianisation de l'Occident, diffusion d'un pluralisme religieux, pratiques individuelles en sont les traits les plus marquants. Mais c'est davantage l'acte de mourir, voire la définition même de la mort, qui semblent aujourd'hui changer radicalement. Cette mutation, profonde, n'est pourtant pas un fait nouveau. Elle n'est que le prolongement d'une autre transformation, plus ancienne, qui a touché l'ensemble du monde occidental dès le XVIIIe siècle, où l'on a commencé à déplacer et éloigner les sépultures à la périphérie des villes. La « transition » - si ce n'est la rupture - qui s'est alors produite en seulement quelques générations est venue bouleverser un régime funéraire qui s'était imposé depuis la fin de l'Antiquité, articulant des espaces destinés aux morts aux lieux sacrés, et faisant cohabiter les vivants et les défunts.Cet ouvrage vient analyser la manière dont s'est mis en place cet effacement progressif à travers les siècles, en tentant de dresser une histoire longue des rapports entre les vivants et les morts.

This volume provides an overview of the excavations in two contiguous cemeteries of the Chalcolithic period, Quleh and Mazor (West), in the central coastal plain of Israel. The excavations were carried out as a salvage project on behalf of the Israel Antiquities Authority under the direction of Ianir Milevski. This volume presents in detail the excavated caves and the finds within them, including the pottery, ossuaries, lithic finds, human and faunal remains. The main issues in this volume relate to different analyses used for better understanding the site within its geographical landscape and chronological framework of the second half of the 5th millennium BC in the southern Levant. These analyses include the iconography, provenance and technological aspects of the ceramic vessels and clay ossuaries, and the distribution of the finds in the caves. In addition to being an excavation report, this volume includes synthesis studies of the distribution of settlements and cemeteries of the Chalcolithic Ghassulian culture, and the relationships between both types of sites and the burial system of that period. These relationships are deciphered by means of petrography and viewshed analysis utilizing GIS systems. The volume emphasizes the anthropological and social aspects of the iconography of the Ghassulian culture of the Chalcolithic period and a comprehensive view of the religious beliefs encompassed in these burial practices.
