Burials as Historical Texts, if these burials are texts, what are the stories?

The story is the life that the deceased person led, and the society that that person existed in.

Burials provide a story not only of the life of the deceased person, through objects near/in the burial, and the body itself at times.

They also provide a story of the culture in which that person existed. Burials often feature heavy religious elements, and provide clues as to the culture and customs of the society associated with the burial.
