The Oxford Handbook of the Archaeology of Ritual and Religion
provides a comprehensive overview by period and region of the
relevant archaeological material in relation to theory,
methodology, definition, and practice. Although, as the title
indicates, the focus is upon archaeological investigations of
ritual and religion, by necessity ideas and evidence from other
disciplines are also included, among them anthropology,
ethnography, religious studies, and history. The Handbook covers a
global span-Africa, Asia, Australasia, Europe, and the Americas-and
reaches from the earliest prehistory (the Lower and Middle
Palaeolithic) to modern times. In addition, chapters focus upon
relevant themes, ranging from landscape to death, from taboo to
water, from gender to rites of passage, from ritual to fasting and
feasting. Written by over sixty specialists, renowned in their
respective fields, the Handbook presents the very best in current
scholarship, and will serve both as a comprehensive introduction to
its subject and as a stimulus to further research.
