BEYOND URNFIELDS presents the results of an international network project on Late Bronze Age and Early Iron Age urnfields from northwest Europe.



Individual chapters describe the archaeological material and its research history within a local, regional, or supra-regional context, showing the wide range of nuances contained by the funerary phenomenon. The volume provides the first comprehensive overview of the urnfield funerary phenomenon in northwest Europe and forms the foundation for future research across national and disciplinary boundaries.



This volume successfully demonstrates that the inconspicuous urnfields of northwest Europe are not as anonymous as previously assumed but hold valuable information about life and death in the Late Bronze Age and Early Iron Age.
