The UV research groups (GIUV) are regulated in the 1st chapter of the Regulation ACGUV48/2013, which explains the procedure for creating new research structures. They are basic research and organizational structures that result from the voluntary association of researchers that share objectives, facilities, resources and common lines of research. These researchers are also committed to the consolidation and stability of their activity, work in groups and the capability to achieve a sustainable funding.
The research groups included in the previously mentioned Regulation are registered in the Register of Research Structures of the Universitat de València (REIUV), managed by the Office of the Vice-principal for Research. The basic information of these organisms can be found in this website.

Description of research activity: The multidisciplinary team, made up of specialists from different fields (Ancient History, Art History and Cultural Heritage, Archaeology, Bioanthropology, Chemistry and Roman Law), aims to research aspects related to the world of culture and death in Antiquity, as well as its transmission, reception and influences in later times up to the present day.
Through the study of ancient sources, both material and textual, key aspects in various societies and cultures around the phenomenon of death are analysed: ideology, beliefs, myths, symbolism, ritual, politics and legislation, memory, emotions and manifestations. The role and presence of women in all these cultural aspects is also addressed in a special way.
