Abstract:
Recent archaeological work undertaken in medieval Jewish cemeteries in Europe have enabled us to augment our Knowledge on these funerary spaces which, until recently, had only been known through written sources. Data taken from the ground confirms certain information found in the archives, illuminating original funerary practices while also seeming to contradict some aspects of the Jewish funeral ritual described in the texts.
