Sommario/riassunto

This scholarly work, edited by Alessandro Buono, Gianluca Miniaci, and Anna Anguissola, explores the practices and rituals associated with the appropriation of abandoned artifacts from antiquity to modern times. Combining perspectives from history, archaeology, and anthropology, the book examines how societies address the social and material voids



created by death, abandonment, and other interruptions. It highlights the role of rituality and performative acts in legitimizing the claim over forsaken objects and spaces, fostering continuity within human and non-human relationships. Drawing on diverse case studies spanning the Neolithic to the present day, the volume delves into themes such as abandonment, care, and cultural continuity. It serves as a valuable resource for scholars and students of ancient societies, material culture, and ritual practices.
