Body As Material Culture - A Theoretical Osteoarchaeology

Informationen zum Autor Joanna R. Sofaer is Senior Lecturer in Archaeology at the University of Southampton. As an osteoarchaeologist and prehistorian, she has published widely on human bioarchaeology and European prehistory. Her previous publications include Children and Material Culture (editor) (2000). Zusammenfassung Archaeological remains not only intrigue! they also inform. This book looks at the two traditionally separate disciplines which explore archaeological remains; the scientific and the humanistic! and argues that the approaches of both should be combined in order to fully exploit the evidence of the past that remains offer us. Inhaltsverzeichnis 1. Bodies and boundaries; 2. The body as an archaeological resource; 3. The body and convention in archaeological practice; 4. Material bodies; 5. Gender; 6. Age.
