The aim of the Ernst Herzfeld Society is an adequate edition of all papers presented at the colloquia and other articles of academic value.
The 10th volume of the Beitrage zur Islamischen Kunst und Archaologie offers an overview of the extent and complexity of funerary culture in Islamic contexts as attested by visual and material evidence, and the variety of methodological approaches and disciplinary perspectives its study requires. The nine essays forming the core of the volume focus on human remains, burials, cemeteries, monumental structures and complexes, inscriptions, manuscripts, paintings, and photographs. They cover almost all the regions of the dar al-Islam, spanning from the 7th century up to the present, and involve field archaeology and physical anthropology, history of architecture, epigraphy, art history, gender studies, social history, and anthropology.
