Archaeologies of Cult: Essays on Ritual and Cult in Crete iHonor of Geraldine C. Gesell

edited by Anna Lucia D'Agata and Aleydis van de Moortel

Twenty-five years after Colin Renfrew's seminal book, The Archaeology of Cult, was published, the study of ritual and religion in Crete remains one of the most vital and debated areas of research in Old World prehistory. For the present volume, 25 specialists in the archaeology of the island have been invited to bring the subject up to date. Their multivocalist discourse ranges in time from the Bronze to the Iron Age and includes, in five diverse sections, unpublished finds, theoretically-informed discussion of ritual behavior, and innovative reconstructions of sacred landscapes. 354p, 146 illus (Hesperia Supplement 42, American School of Classical Studies at Athens 2007)
