Das Dörfchen Wharram Percy kennt kein Mensch. Bis vorgestern.
A multidisciplinary study of a burnt and mutilated assemblage of human remains from a deserted Mediaeval village in England
Ein Bemerkung am Schluss des Aufsatzes über die zerstückelten (enthaupteten) Skelette, die teilweise auch Brandspuren aufweisen, jagt dann das Städtchen durch die globale Presse und Schauder über den Rücken:
"Written sources usually fail to specify the final fate of the remains after the troublesome corpse has been mutilated/burnt, but disposal of remains in a domestic context within a settlement could be argued as inconsistent with the idea that the corpses were feared. Revenants reported by Me- diaeval chroniclers are invariably adults and mainly men (Mays, 2016). This may in part reflect that men were more likely to have led the kinds of lives, or died the kinds of deaths, associated with restless corpses"
Die Verbindung mit den "restless corpses" trifft den medialen Nerv: schützte man sich hier vor den Untoten, the walking dead? :rip::angsthab:
