The Archaeology of Cult and Religion

This volume presents a unique body of scholarship focusing on cult and religion in archaeology. The papers were selected from the symposia the editors organized at the annual meetings of the European Association of Archaeologists in Ravenna (1997) and Göteborg (1998). In 21 essays and case studies, followed by a chapter of commentary, the volume offers cutting-edge perspectives on the archaeologies of religion, cult, ritual, representation, imagery, structured space, mortuary practices and material culture studies.
