Welcome to the website of mortuary archaeologist, death historian and best-selling author Lorraine Evans. Focusing on new research and finds in the world of archaeology and history, this website will act as a hub for all of Lorraine's archaeological passions, namely non-conformist burial sites, deviant burial practices, graveyards, historical death rituals, and anything out of the ordinary. It will also act as a repository for all of her published works to date. The accompanying sister site, entitled Morte Photography and Research, focuses on surveying and recording of burial grounds and cemeteries throughout Scotland.
