Description:How did pastcommunities view, understand and communicate their pasts? And how can we, asarchaeologists, understand this? In recent years these questions have beenapproached through studies of the extended occupation and use of landscapes, monuments and artefacts to explore concepts of time and memory. But what ofobjects that were already old in the past?Interpretations forthese items have ranged from the discard of scrap to objects of veneration.Evidence from a range of periods would suggest objects of the past were animportant part of many later societies that encountered them, either asheirlooms with remembered histories or rediscovered curiosities from a moredistant past.For the first time, this volume brings together a range of case studies in which objects of thepast were encountered and reappropriated. It follows a conference session atthe Theoretical Archaeological Group in Cardiff 2017, in which historians, archaeologists, heritage professionals and commercial archaeologists gatheredto discuss this topic on a broad (pre)historical scale, highlightingsimilarities and contrast in depositional practices and reactions to relics ofthe past in different periods. Through case studies spanning the Bronze Agethrough to the 18th century AD, this volume presents new research demonstratingthat the reappropriation of these already old objects was not anomalous, butinstead represents a practice that recurs throughout (pre)history.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
