Continuing bonds: exploring the meaning and legacy of death through past and contemporary practice
This project will examine a dialogue about death and dying between the clinical and historical disciplines, aiming to demonstrate how archaeology can inform our attitudes to death and dying, and thereby help to shape policy and practice. It also aims to investigate the value of collaboration between healthcare professionals and archaeologists. Death is still taboo in everyday life, often for fear of the emotions it raises. This has considerable consequences for individuals and families in decision-making in illness and the frailty of old age. The team hopes that, through introducing the topic of death through archaeological examples, “death” can become a more familiar conversation. By bringing it into our everyday conversations, they seek to alleviate many fears and hope that practicalities and preferences can be discussed.
