In Profiling Death. Neo-Elamite Mortuary Practices, Afterlife Beliefs, and Entanglements with Ancestors , Yasmina Wicks continues the investigation of this critical epoch from the perspective of the mortuary record, bringing forth fascinating clues as to the ritual practices, beliefs, social structures and individual identities of Elam?s lowland and highland inhabitants. Enmeshed with its neighbours, yet in many ways culturally distinct, Elam receives its due treatment here as a core component of the ancient Near East. 410 0$aCulture and History of the Ancient Near East$v98. 606 $aHISTORY / Ancient / General 606 $aCavalry$yHistory$dTo 1500 606 $aCavalry 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aHISTORY / Ancient / General. 615 0$aCavalry 615 0$aCavalry. 676 $a939.4 700 $aWicks$b Yasmina$0901198 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910511748903321 996 $aProfiling death$92550463 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01164nam0 22003011i 450 001 UON00300831 005 20231205104003.575 010 $a88-7916-314-0 100 $a20070918d2006 |0itac50 ba 101 $aita 102 $aIT 105 $a|||| 1|||| 200 1 $aˆLa ‰fiaba di tradizione orale$fGiuseppe Gatto 210 $aMilano$cLed Edizioni Universitarie di Lettere Economia Diritto$dc2006 215 $a230 p.$d22 cm 606 $aTRADIZIONE ORALE$3UONC004628$2FI 606 $aFAVOLE$3UONC036853$2FI 620 $aIT$dMilano$3UONL000005 676 $a348.2$cTRADIZIONE ORALE$v21 676 $a398.2$cLetteratura popolare, mitologia, etc.$v21 700 1$aGATTO$bGiuseppe$3UONV102068$0443841 712 $aLED, Edizioni Universitarie di Lettere Economia Diritto$3UONV259628$4650 801 $aIT$bSOL$c20240220$gRICA 899 $aSIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEO$2UONSI 912 $aUON00300831 950 $aSIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEO$dSI OG VI 034 $eSI AA 28858 5 034 996 $aFiaba di tradizione orale$988305 997 $aUNIOR
