Beschreibung:
An Ethnography of the Neolithic provides a provocative and novel reconstruction of society in Scandinavia over a period of 3,000 years. Christopher Tilley integrates a wide range of evidence, from prehistoric landscapes to the symbolic significance of axes and pots, to recreate in an accessible way the lives of the final hunter-gatherer-fishers and first farmers in Sweden and Denmark. His skillful fusion of archaeological evidence and new anthropological approaches makes this book an original contribution to a widely debated topic.
Part I. The Late Mesolithic and Early Neolithic: 1. The original affluent society; 2. Axes, pots and monuments; Part II. Stone Monuments and Society in the Middle Neolithic: 3. Monument construction and social competition; 4. Settlement, tomb and landscape; 5. Death and body symbolism; 6. The social lives of artifacts; 7. Neolithic politics and a religion of the body; 8. Epilogue: working with metaphors.
