Cemeteries The cemeteries of southern Italy in Norman times have left plenty of archaeological traces and a few traces in literature as well: whether in or out of town, they were usually in the churchyard. The tombs were pointed towards the church, and, from the 11th century, the most important personages began to be buried within the walls of the church itself (especially in the case of private churches).
