Archaeologists excavating burials often find that they are not the first to disturb the remains of the dead. Graves from many periods frequently show signs that others have been digging and have moved or taken away parts of the original funerary assemblage. Displaced bones and artefacts, traces of pits, and damage to tombs or coffins can all provide clues about post-burial activities. The last two decades have seen a rapid rise in interest in the study of post-depositional practices in graves, which has now developed into a new subfield within mortuary archaeology. This follows a long tradition of neglect, with disturbed graves previously regarded as interesting only to the degree they revealed evidence of the original funerary deposit. This book explores past human interactions with mortuary deposits, delving into the different ways graves and human remains were approached by people in the past and the reasons that led to such encounters. The primary focus of the volume is on cases of unexpected interference with individual graves soon after burial: re-encounters with human remains not anticipated by those who performed the funerary rites and constructed the tombs. However, a first step is always to distinguish these from natural and accidental processes, and methodological approaches are a major theme of discussion. Interactions with the remains of the dead are explored in eleven chapters ranging from the New Kingdom of Egypt to Viking Age Norway and from Bronze Age Slovakia to the ancient Maya. Each discusses cases of re-entries into graves, including desecration, tomb re-use, destruction of grave contents, as well as the removal of artefacts and human remains for reasons from material gain to commemoration, symbolic appropriation, ancestral rites, political chicanery, and retrieval of relics. The introduction presents many of the methodological issues which recur throughout the contributions, as this is a developing area with new approaches being applied to analyze post-depositional processes in graves.

Rest in peace - a hollow phrase when the body snatchers descended on the graveyard once the mourners had left and, crowbars at the ready, brutally pulled out the deceased, carting the body off under darkness to where it would be dissected by surgeons and their students before the remains were casually disposed of. For many decades in Britain, prior to 1832, this was commonplace - and all in the name of medical science. Such were the rewards from surgeons and anatomists in need of specimens to dissect, that a new type of criminal was bred. Mass murderers, such as Burke and Hare actually killed to supply the trade. How many ancient, peaceful graves across the country lie empty, their erstwhile occupants long since removed by the body snatchers?

Detective Robinson is only trying to help his fellow detective by taking her duty weekend, something he had done many times before, and for the most part, had always been routine. That is, until this weekend. What starts off as a normal call for vandalism in a cemetery quickly turns into something much darker and deadly. As Robinson uncovers secrets from the past, will he be able to stop the threat before something more sinister happens? One thing is for certain, these secrets were better left buried. "Grave Disturbance," is J.E. Jack's third novel and is a supernatural thriller set in the small coastal city of Pensacola, Florida.
