Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 13 page paper summarizing ten articles written in the
vein of “Social dimensions of mortuary practices” by A.A. Saxe and addressing such subjects as
Jewish Shiva, Sadako’s paper cranes, Southern funeral traditions and findings at an Early Bronze
Age site in Jordan. All of these articles point toward the magnitude of the impact of death within
specific societies or segments of larger ones. Though the practices and beliefs vary, the common
factor is that single deaths have for millennia affected greater numbers of those still living. This
paper also includes specific treatments of the bodies and artifacts included in burial for several
regions including Iron Age Israel, the Hmong People, an Egyptian priest and the Late Archaic of the
southwest US, as well as a description of the oldest mummy to have been found in North America.
Bibliography lists 16 sources.
