Adjectivefunerary Category: FuneralFrom Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A funeral is a ceremony marking a person's death. Funerary customs comprise the complex of beliefs and practices used by a culture to remember the dead, from the funeral itself, to various monuments, prayers, and rituals undertaken in their honour. These customs vary widely between cultures, and between religious affiliations within cultures. In some cultures the dead are venerated; this is commonly called ancestor worship. The word funeral comes from the Latin funus, which had a variety of meanings, including the corpse and the funerary rites themselves. Funeral rites are as old as the human culture itself, predating modern homo sapiens, to at least 300,000 years ago. For example, in the Shanidar cave in Iraq, in Pontnewydd Cave in Wales and other sites across Europe and the Near East, Neanderthal skeletons have been discovered with a characteristic layer of pollen, which suggests that Neanderthals buried the dead with gifts of flowers. This has been interpreted as suggesting that Neanderthals believed in an afterlife. From Wikipedia under the

Q. As we have seen in the artwork on funerary vases we have studied, the practice of cremation, where the body of the deceased was burned in a ceremonial fire and the ashes were then deposited into a funerary vase, was practiced widely in Greece. i believe this is false, i remember something about coins over eyes and beliefe in the underworld, im not sure if that was just mythology or not. where did the urn, or cremation vase first come from? and was it used in greece?

Q. Bulgarian Archaeologists Discover Ancient Chariot SOFIA, Bulgaria - Archaeologists have unearthed a 1,900-year-old well-preserved chariot at an ancient Thracian tomb in southeastern Bulgaria, the head of the excavation said Thursday. Daniela Agre said her team found the four-wheel chariot during excavations near the village of Borisovo, around 180 miles east of the capital, Sofia. "This is the first time that we have found a completely preserved chariot in Bulgaria," said Agre, a senior archaeologist at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. She said previous excavations had only unearthed single parts of chariots often because ancients sites had been looted. At the funerary mound, the team also discovered table pottery, glass vessels… [cont.] Asked by J.B. Holiday - Thu Aug 7 12:13:57 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A.
