Performances in the premodern communities shaped identities,
created meanings, generated and maintained political control. But
unlike other social scientists, archaeologists have not worked much
with these concepts. Archaeology of Performance shows how the
notions of theatricality and spectacle are as important economics
and politics in understanding how ancient communities work. Without
sacrificing conceptual rigor, the contributors draw on the
wide-ranging literature on performance. Without sacrificing
material evidence, they try to see how performance creates meaning
and ideology. Drawing on evidence from societies large and small,
Archaeology of Performance offers an important new ways of
understanding ancient theaters of power.
