Envisioning the Past Through Memories
Bloomsbury Academic (Verlag)
978-1-4742-2396-6 (ISBN)
The chapters of this volume analyse the value and function of memory within the ancient Near Eastern and Egyptian societies, combining archaeological, textual and iconographical evidence following a progression from the analysis of the creation and preservation of both single and multiple memories, to the material culture (things and objects) that shed light on the impact of memory on individuals and community.
Davide Nadali is Lecturer in Near Eastern Archaeology at the Sapienza University of Rome, Italy.
