Bringing together a wealth of research in social and cultural
anthropology, philosophy and related fields, this is the first book
to address the contribution that an understanding of personhood can
make to our interpretations of the past
Applying an anthropological approach to detailed case studies
from European prehistoric archaeology, the book explores the
connection between people, animals, objects, their societies and
environments and investigates the relationship that jointly
produces bodies, persons, communities and artefacts.
The Archaeology of Personhood examines the characteristics that
define a person as a category of being, highlights how definitions
of personhood are culturally variable and explores how that
variation is connected to human uses of material culture.
