This chapter examines the relevance of networks in mortuary archaeology. It traces the genealogy of network thinking and provides a critical synthesis of the diverse ways in which successive generations of archaeologists have approached and interpreted relations when researching the mortuary archaeological record. Case studies demonstrate a range of theoretical issues and scales investigated using network concepts and methods. This chapter evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of network approaches vis-à-vis multivariate statistics and Geographic Information Systems, which represent other powerful tools for mortuary analyses. The overview of the case studies shows a high degree of diversity, given the limited use of mortuary networks. It is argued that network methods not only enable the expansion of scale but, more importantly, enable movement across scales. Finally, the chapter proposes potential future directions for the development of networks in mortuary archaeology, especially synergies between diferent traditions of network thinking and the integration of diferent kinds of data and analyses within a single project.
