Broken Bodies,Places and Objects is a groundbreaking exploration of the fragmented world of prehistory and history, offering a comprehensive and up-to-date perspective on the subject. Through a diverse range of case studies, the book showcases the extensive use of fragmentation and fragmenting throughout these periods, shedding light on the complex processes of cultural transformation and preservation.
From the broken seals shared by trade parties to the dog jaws accompanying the dead in Mesolithic burials, fragments of ancient warships commodified as souvenirs, and parts of an ancient dynastic throne split up between different colonial collections, the remnants of the past are scattered across our present. These fragments possess a unique power, as they can reference their original whole while also evolving into new, unrelated meanings.
The deliberate breakage of bodies, places, and objects for the use of fragments has been documented throughout history, spanning various time periods. Over two decades ago, John Chapman's seminal publication introduced fragmentation studies, and since then, the topic has gained increasing prominence in archaeology. This volume, the first European-wide review of fragmentation, presents a comprehensive collection of case studies from the Neolithic to Modernity, pushing the boundaries of fragmentation theory in innovative directions.
Written for scholars and students in archaeology, as well as neighboring fields such as anthropology, history, cultural heritage studies, museology, art, and architecture, Broken Bodies, Places and Objects provides a valuable resource for understanding the multifaceted nature of fragmentation and its significance in shaping our past and present.
