Communities of the dead in Umayyad Cordoba [Ressource électronique]
There are frequent references to Cordoba's cemeteries in Arabic, Latin and Romance sources, and archaeologists have uncovered several of them. This provides some evidence for the social aspects of burial. This paper considers two factors that seem to have determined where a citizen of Cordoba might be buried-the individual's social status and religious affiliation-and evaluates their significance.
