Yet, its theoretical basis is still not fully mature. This book aims at making a contribution to the study of ritual practice in the past by assembling a theoretical framework, which is tailored to the needs of archaeology, and which helps to identity and interpret the remains of rituals in the past. This framework is applied in a special archaeological region: the coastal area of the northern Netherlands, a former salt marsh area. In the past, people lived here on artificial dwelling mounds, so-called terps. Preservation conditions are excellent in this wetland area. This study makes use of the well-preserved remains of rituals in terps, to examine the role of ritual practice in the societies of the pre-Roman and Roman Iron Age in this area.Groningen archaeological studies.1572-1760 ;Volume 29.Antiquities, PrehistoricNetherlandsRites and ceremoniesNetherlandsNetherlandsAntiquitiesElectronic books.Antiquities, PrehistoricRites and ceremonies936.3Nieuwhof Annet978419MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910467790403321Eight human skulls in a dung heap and more2229725UNINA
