The necropoleis and burial mounds of this region serve as an important basis for understanding social, political, and cultural developments in Hellenistic Asia Minor.<\/p>\n<p>The contributions outline common features of funerary culture across the region while also identifying local differences in commemorative practices. With its historical and landscape-oriented focus, the volume offers the first comparative regional study of Hellenistic funerary culture in Asia Minor. By applying an interdisciplinary definition of funerary archaeology, it provides perspectives for future work on death, memory, and social identities based on a broad range of evidence.<\/p>\n<p>We congratulate the editors and contributors and recommend the volume to colleagues interested in Hellenistic funerary culture and archaeology.<\/p>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The volume brings together sixteen contributions examining funerary landscapes, inscriptions, human remains, and burial practices in Pergamon and the Aeolian cities of Aigai, Kyme, and Elaia, as well as in Mytilene and Antandros.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":2636,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[25,47],"class_list":["post-2637","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-archaologie-eng","tag-pergamon","tag-publication"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dainst.blog\/transpergmikro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2637"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dainst.blog\/transpergmikro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dainst.blog\/transpergmikro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dainst.blog\/transpergmikro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/21"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dainst.blog\/transpergmikro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2637"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.dainst.blog\/transpergmikro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2637\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2642,"href":"https:\/\/www.dainst.blog\/transpergmikro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2637\/revisions\/2642"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dainst.blog\/transpergmikro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2636"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dainst.blog\/transpergmikro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2637"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dainst.blog\/transpergmikro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2637"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dainst.blog\/transpergmikro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2637"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
