How can we identify it in the archaeological record? And what does it tell us about the societies that practice it? Sacred Killing: The Archaeology of Sacrifice in the Ancient Near East investigates these and other questions through the evidence for human and animal sacrifice in the Near East from the Neolithic to the Hellenistic periods. Drawing on sociocultural anthropology and history in addition to archaeology, the book also includes evidence from ancient China and a riveting eyewitness account and analysis of sacrifice in contemporary India, which engage some of the key issues at stake. Sacred Killing vividly presents a variety of methods and theories in the study of one of the most profound and disturbing ritual activities humans have ever practiced. 606 $aSocial archaeology$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01122274 606 $aSacrifice$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01103249 606 $aRites and ceremonies$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01098216 606 $aAntiquities$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00810745 606 $aRites and ceremonies$zMiddle East$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aSacrifice$zMiddle East$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aSocial archaeology$zMiddle East 607 $aMiddle East$2fast 607 $aMiddle East$xReligious life and customs 607 $aMiddle East$xAntiquities 608 $aHistory 615 7$aSocial archaeology 615 7$aSacrifice 615 7$aRites and ceremonies 615 7$aAntiquities 615 0$aRites and ceremonies$xHistory 615 0$aSacrifice$xHistory 615 0$aSocial archaeology 676 $a203/.409394 701 $aSchwartz$b Glenn M$0569677 701 $aPorter$b Anne M.$f1957-$01521969 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786334403321 996 $aSacred Killing$93761462 997 $aUNINA
