| Summary: | On the basis of the archaeological work carried on in the eastern necropolis of Baelo, we present a body of new information bearing on the actual funeral practices typically followed in this necropolis in the high imperial period. Thanks to a painstaking excavation, we are in a position to analyse questions of ritual, such as the survival of religious and symbolic manifestations of the Bastulo-Punic and Republican periods, or the incorporation of prophylactic elements possibly relating to superstitions and certain attitudes to death. At the same time we present a hitherto-unknown type of entombment in the necropolis and for the first time report the location of material traces of the celebration of a funeral feast. |
