This fascinating study explores how our prehistoric ancestors
developed rituals from everyday life and domestic activities.
Richard Bradley contends that for much of the prehistoric period,
ritual was not a distinct sphere of activity. Rather it was the way
in which different features of the domestic world were played out
until they took on qualities of theatrical performance.
With extensive illustrated case-studies, this book examines
farming, craft production and the occupation of houses, all of
which were ritualized in prehistoric Europe. Successive chapters
discuss the ways in which ritual has been studied, drawing on a
series of examples that range from Greece to Norway and from
Romania to Portugal. They consider practices that extend from the
Mesolithic period to the Early Middle Ages and discuss the ways in
which ritual and domestic life were intertwined.
