Description
Between 2014 and 2015 in the excavations of the church of San Calocero in Albenga (Savona - Italy) two burials of young post-medieval women with particular and anomalous characteristics were brought to light.
The first inhumation was prone and placed in a deep grave isolated from the cemetery; the second had partially burnt bone remains and was covered by an accumulation of large stones.
The find immediately had a vast international echo, which already during the excavation led to the organization of a first in-depth scientific meeting. Sit tibi terra gravis - Anomalous burials between the medieval and modern ages publishes the proceedings of a 2016 international conference of the same name.
The contributions explore the phenomenon of anomalous burials on a European scale, with an interdisciplinary reading between archaeology, history, physical and cultural anthropology.
Thirty-three contributions by sixty-two scholars are divided into four sessions: "Deviant burials": case studies from the Italian territory; "Deviant burials" from European contexts; Anthropology and Archaeology compared; The indicators in the tombs, allowing to develop a broad and articulated study path on this phenomenon.
