Synopsis

These nine papers form the Proceedings of the Third Annual Meeting of Postgraduate Researchers held at Liverpool University in 2002. They present postdoctoral research on the evidence for the mingling of cult and death in the archaeological record, focusing on evidence from prehistoric and classical Greece. Subjects include: Greek Neolithic figurines; tomb design and symbolism in late Helladic Greece; the burial ritual tradition in the south-easterb Aegean during the Mycenaean period; Myceneaen priests and priestesses; homecoming and death in Greek tragedy; Euripidean evidence for human sacrifices in Greece; inscribed gold foil as evidence for initiation rituals into mystery cults in Pelinna and Thurioi; Theocritus' portrayal of the death of Daphnis.
