 h.Mortuary traditions play an important role in the creation of cultural l
 andscapes and the maintenance of social relations. The materialization of 
 burial practices, however, varies in scale and form across space and tim
 e. Traditional scholarship on mortuary contexts has primarily focused on i
 ssues of social hierarchy and social mobility without adequately addressin
 g the material dimensions —objects, artefacts, structures, and spaces—a
 ssociated with the dead. Being relational at multiple scales of observatio
 ns, materials and spaces offer us the opportunity to understand and appre
 hend the varied choices involved in the representation of the dead and the
 ir significance for the living communities. Moreover, critically analyzin
 g the visuality, materiality, and spatiality of mortuary contexts in con
 junction with cross-disciplinary approaches to remains of the dead—skeleta
 l (osteology) and Ancient DNA data—can bring new insights into mortuary pr
 actices.To this end, a two-day workshop is organized to explore mortuary 
 matters and associated practices. With a focus on the ancient Mediterranea
 n, our workshop aims to provide a forum for scholars with diverse discipl
 inary perspectives to come together for collaborative engagement. What inf
 erences can we draw by analyzing the intermediate space between the living
  and the dead delineated by physical things? What choices are involved in 
 the demarcation of specific spaces by burials? How can we interpret the co
 ntainment of a person’s memory – often associated with personalized object
 s – in a pot, surrounded by stone slabs, or in a burial pit? Is it possi
 ble to shed light on past life events by combining current scientific skel
 etal analysis with contextualinformation? Can we elucidate how people unde
 rstood, created, and moved within and amongst their mortuary landscapes?
