Yes / Theories of Continuing Bonds, and more recently, the Dual Process of
Grieving, have provided new ways of understanding the bereavement
process, and have influenced current practice for counsellors, end-oflife
care practitioners and other professionals. This paper uses these
theories in a new way, exploring their relevance to archaeological
interpretation, with particular reference to the phenomenon of
the plastering of skulls of the deceased in the Neolithic of Southwest
Asia (the Middle East/Near East), suggesting that traditional
archaeological interpretations, which focus on concepts of status and
social organisation, may be missing a more basic reaction to grief and
a desire to keep the dead close for longer.
