This book is not ',another brick in the wall',, but a contribution to ',break the wall', between different disciplines in an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary framework. We present in this volume fifteen papers focused on theoretical and interpretative proposals from the textual, archaeological and bioarchaeological record, as well as a series of ',case studies', on certain European areas essentially throughout the analysis of the funeral world in the Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages._,
