This is such a lovely thread of posts about Cate and Carly's paper - if you are interested in archaeologies of kinship, that so often are informed by the context in which the dead have been mourned, this is one for you!

1/ Good morning, Europe! Now that you're awake, I'll make a little thread about what we are doing in this paper!
This is part of a special issue on kinship in archaeology ed by @pennyend.bsky.social, Sabina Cvecek and Manaasa Raghavan. All the articles and the three commentaries are very worthwhile

Really pleased this collaboration with @carlyschuster.bsky.social is finally published! We lean on queer feminist theory to discuss kinship as a dynamic set of relations and map their flow around funerary rites - we see burials as cannily assembled, not simple mirrors of the living world
