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 $aSocial archaeology$zMiddle East 606 $aSacrifice$zMiddle East$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aRites and ceremonies$zMiddle East$xHistory$yTo 1500 607 $aMiddle East$xAntiquities 607 $aMiddle East$xReligious life and customs 615 0$aSocial archaeology 615 0$aSacrifice$xHistory 615 0$aRites and ceremonies$xHistory 676 $a203/.409394 701 $aPorter$b Anne$f1957-$01814721 701 $aSchwartz$b Glenn M$0569677 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910970888403321 996 $aSacred killing$94368775 997 $aUNINA
