Katharina Rebay-Salisbury

The Human Body in Early Iron Age Central Europe (eBook, ePUB)

Burial Practices and Images of the Hallstatt World

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The 'archaeology of the body' has recently emerged as one of the most promising new fields in archaeology, using a fresh approach to look at archaeological data from a different angle and interpreting society in a new way. This volume tracks the changing individual and social identities of early Iron Age people through body-related practices and imagery. It investigates themes such as bodily ideals, sex and gender, age, personhood, hybridity, postures, gestures and object relations as building blocks of identity. Through a better understanding of individual identities, a deeper understanding of social relations and societies as a whole is achieved.
