Document Details : Title: Death and Burial in Subartu Subtitle: Case Study: Tell Beydar Author(s): VAN DE VIJVER, Katrien Journal: Terra Incognita Volume: 1 Date: 2006 Pages: 227-239 DOI: 10.2143/TI.1.0.2015282 Abstract : The burial customs of the 3rd millennium BC in the Ancient Near East are often studied by means of information gathered from sites covering different periods and regions. It is clear however, that there is a great variety among the different regions and peoples that should be kept in mind, but is often overlooked. Tell Beydar in the north of Syria should not be compared lightly to sites in the south of Mesopotamia ; there are substantial differences between the different regions regarding culture, society and technology. |
