Tombe ad incinerazione dell'età del Ferro da necropoli dell'Emilia Occidentale: inquadramento culturale ed analisi antropologiche

This study concerns five iron age cemeteries, chronologically dated at the end of 7th -early 6th century BC and geographically located in western Emilia-Romagna (northern Italy), and aims to point out the ritual behaviors of these communities in the mortuary practices. The number of tombs is low in each site and the rite is significantly heterogeneous, in terms of depositional aspects (inhumations and cremations), and of quantity of grave goods.
