An 'archaeology of place' attempts to move beyond the understanding of the landscape as inert background or static fossil of human behaviour. From a specifically mortuary perspective, this approach entails a focus on the inherently mutable, transient and performative qualities of 'deathscapes': how they are remembered, obliterated, forgotten, reworked, or revisited over time. Despite latent interest in this line of enquiry, few studies have explored the topic explicitly in Aegean archaeology. This book aims to identify ways in which to think about the deathscape as a cross between landscapes, tombs, bodies, and identities, supplementing and expanding upon well explored themes in the field (e.g. tombs as vehicles for the legitimization of power; funerary landscapes as arenas of social and political competition). The volume recasts a wealth of knowledge about Aegean mortuary cultures against a theoretical background, bringing the field up to date with recent developments in the archaeology of place"--Publisher's website.Funeral rites and ceremoniesGreeceArchaeology and historyGreeceBurialGreeceLandscape archaeologyGreeceExcavations (Archaeology)GreeceCivilization, AegeanArchaeology and historyfast(OCoLC)fst00813004Burialfast(OCoLC)fst00841751Excavations (Archaeology)fast(OCoLC)fst00917564Funeral rites and ceremoniesfast(OCoLC)fst00936223Landscape archaeologyfast(OCoLC)fst00991791GreecefastElectronic books.Funeral rites and ceremoniesArchaeology and historyBurialLandscape archaeologyExcavations (Archaeology)Civilization, Aegean.Archaeology and history.Burial.Excavations (Archaeology)Funeral rites and ceremonies.Landscape archaeology.930.1Dakouri-Hild AnastasiaBoyd Michael J.1970-MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910162964003321Staging death2485085UNINA
