Discussion

Yohanna Cabrera (asker) Aug 26, 2008:
Phrase in context "Religious observance consisted of invocations and charms to ensure the gods' help in securing a desired outcome in the material world, though the presence of grave goods indicates a belief in an afterlife."
Adriana Martinez Aug 26, 2008:
Yohanna, de esta manera no podemos ayudarte, es necesario que incluyas contexto. ¡Por favor!
Teresa Mozo Aug 26, 2008:
el término será tanto más preciso, cuanto más contexto se incluya.

Los objetos que acompañan al difunto pueden ser ofrendas o sencillamente objetos que éste podrá utilizar en la otra vida. Yo no hablaría de ofrendas, pues éstas suelen tener una finalidad exclusivamente religiosa.

Peer comment(s):
agree Rebecca Hendry : I think you are right, given the newly-added context referring to the afterlife. The text is obviously referring to objects that the person buried can use in that afterlife.
