  • Summary

  • What was life like in the 400s and 500s CE? That question is not an easy one.

    In this episode, we look at the funerary evidence for each stage of life during this period. We understand what identity was developed and how that was closely connected to what individuals did during life as well as the important cultural concerns at the time.
