This book is about belonging: about walking in ancient places, in the footsteps of the ancestors. It’s about reaching back in time, to find ourselves, and our place in the world.

And there, we uncover chronicles in stone, pottery, metal and bone. Burials are like time capsules - each one, a physical biography, written
