The Archaeology of Ritual Paperback / softback
Edited by Evangelos Kyriakidis
Part of the Cotsen Advanced Seminars series
Paperback / softback
Description
A wide spectrum of scholars, historians, art historians, anthropologists, students of performance, students of religion, archaeologists, cognitive scientists, and linguists were all asked to think and comment on how ritual can be traced in archaeology and which ways ritual research can go in that discipline.
The product is a fairly accurate representation of research on ritual and the archaeology of ritual: scholars from various disciplines, backgrounds and agendas, arguing mostly in the most logical fashion, yet with little agreement between them.
So this book should not be seen as presenting one unified attitude towards ritual and its study in archaeology.
It should rather be seen as a reflection of what the discourse in the archaeology of ritual is today.
The outcome has been extremely thought-provoking, often controversial, but always of extremely high quality.
