The aim of this work is twofold. Firstly, it seeks to reflect on the recent evolution of projects dedicated to the materiality of death in the Early Middle Ages in the Iberian Peninsula from the dual perspective of funerary archaeology and bioarchaeology’s, arguing that both lines of work maintain a form of partial interaction, which could be defined in terms of weak interdisciplinarity. This, in turn, limits the scope of research on the funerary record. As a result, the second part of this presentation advocates for a form of deep interdisciplinarity and the creation of new theoretical and methodological frameworks. To this end, several proposals and suggestions are made aimed at building a shared work agenda based on the analysis of four key topics
Aesthetics · Art · Social science · Sociology · Anthropology · Cultural Heritage Management and Preservation
Merovingian Mortuary Archaeology and the Making of the Early Middle Ages
Interpreting Rock-Cut Grave Cemeteries
Medieval People in Town and Country
Social “status” and biological “status”
Towards a New Paradigm? The Third Science Revolution and its Possible Consequences in Archaeology
Paleodiet in the Iberian Peninsula
