Description
What is place? What is territoriality? And how and why do we interact with these spatial concepts? More importantly and pertinent to this volume, how do we as archaeologists and anthropologists identify these spatial concepts within our respective material culture records? It is becoming increasingly clear that the intricacies of place, however subtle, are heavily influenced by the way people run their lives. Intricacies such as symmetry and linearity play an essential role in the concept and design of place. These components usually display traits of complex hierarchical societies. However, many complex societies are formed and governed by different mechanisms as knowing, experiencing, and controlling place.
This volume comprises sixteen thought-provoking chapters and will have great appeal amongst archaeologists and anthropologists who have interest in the way humans interact with place.
