Couched in Death - Klinai and Identity in Anatolia and Beyond

Informationen zum Autor Elizabeth P. Baughan is associate professor of classics and archaeology at the University of Richmond. Since 2009 she has served as field supervisor for the Hacimusalar Höyük excavations in southwestern Turkey. Klappentext Offers the first comprehensive look at the earliest funeral couches in the ancient Mediterranean world. These sixth- and fifth-century BCE klinai from Asia Minor were inspired by specialty luxury furnishings developed in Archaic Greece for reclining at elite symposia. Bringing a diverse body of understudied and unpublished material together for the first time, Baughan investigates the origins and cultural significance of kline-burial and charts the stylistic development and distribution of funerary klinai throughout Anatolia.
