Ritual deposition is not an activity that many people in the
Western world would consider themselves participants of. The
enigmatic beliefs and magical thinking that led to the deposition
of swords in watery places and votive statuettes in temples, for
example, may feel irrelevant to the modern day. However, it could
be argued that ritual deposition is a more widespread feature now
than in the past, with folk assemblages - from roadside memorials
and love-lock bridges, to wishing fountains and coin-trees -
emerging prolifically worldwide. Despite these assemblages being as
much the result of ritual activity as historically deposited
objects, they are rarely given the same academic attention or
heritage status. As well as exploring the nature of ritual
deposition in the contemporary West, and the beliefs and symbolisms
behind various assemblages, this Element explores the heritage of
the modern-day deposit, promoting a renegotiation of the pejorative
term 'ritual litter'.
