This innovative volume challenges contemporary views on material
culture by exploring the relationship between wrapping materials
and practices and the objects, bodies, and places that define them.
Using examples as diverse as baby swaddling, Egyptian mummies,
Celtic tombs, lace underwear, textile clothing, and contemporary
African silk, the dozen archaeologist and anthropologist
contributors show how acts of wrapping and unwrapping are embedded
in beliefs and thoughts of a particular time and place. Employing
methods of artifact analysis, microscopy, and participant
observation, the contributors provide a new lens on material
culture and its relationship to cultural meaning.
