About This Item
Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1987. Original Hardcover Edition. Hardcover. Fine internally. VG+ covers with only a hint of shelf rubbing.. Black cloth/boards; gilt titling. No dust jacket. 262 pp. with 61 bw figures. This study of the changing relationships between burial rituals and social structure in Early Iron Age Greece will be required reading for all archaeologists working with burial evidence, in whatever period. This book differs from many topical studies of state formation in that unique and particular developments are given as much weight as those factors which are common to all early states. The ancient literary evidence and the relevant historical and anthropological comparisons are extensively drawn on in an attempt to explain the transition to the city-state, a development which was to have decisive effects for the subsequent development of European society. - from the publisher - Written in 3 main parts and with a list of figures and tables, 2 appendices, and both site and general indices.
