Conflict Archaeology (eBook, ePUB)

Materialities of Collective Violence from Prehistory to Late Antiquity
Redaktion: Fernández-Götz, Manuel; Roymans, Nico

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Conflict Archaeology presents a series of case-studies on conflict archaeology in ancient Europe, with a chronological framework spanning from the Neolithic to Late Antiquity.

Along key battlefields such as the Tollense Valley, Baecula, Alesia, Kalkriese and Harzhorn, the volume incorporates many sources of evidence that can be directly related with past conflict scenarios, including defensive works, military camps, battle-related ritual deposits, and symbolic representations of violence in iconography and grave goods. The aim is to explore the material evidence for the study of warfare, and to provide new theoretical and methodological insights into the archaeology of mass violence in ancient Europe and beyond.
