ABSTRACT
What could a dead body do in the Neolithic? In this chapter we explore how different affective relations emerged through the treatment of Neolithic bodies, both human and non-human. Beginning with fragmentation, before moving to whole burial and then cremation, the chapter explores how Neolithic bodies could be in more than one location at once, how they could fold flows of power into particular places and create spectacular and intensive events. Bodies, the chapter concludes, were machines for difference making and allow us to define three further neoconcepts.
