商品簡介
Applicable to the fields of anthropology, archaeology, and geography, and pertinent to any chronological era, the 16 essays of this volume offer a variety of examples and approaches to understanding and describing the notion of place. Several essays examine the question in prehistoric sites, among them sites that contain rock art, Stonehenge, and the Funnel-Beaker Culture of southern Scandinavia. The essays expand from specific cultures to offer comparison to other cultures in Europe. Other essays examine questions of the meaning of place in native cultures in North and South America, Australia, and Papua New Guinea. The volume, which is oversized (8x11.25"), is illustrated with b&w and some color plates. It is not indexed. Nash is an archaeologist in the UK; Gheorghiu teaches cultural anthropology and prehistoric art at the National U. of Arts, Bucharest, Romania. The price is converted from euros.
