The Material Life of Human Beings: Artifacts, Behavior and Communication

In this work, the anthropological theorist, Michael Brian Schiffer, presents a challenge to the social sciences.

The meaning of shamanism has been debated for almost three centuries, ever since the term was coined to describe the activities of those who attained altered states of consciousness in order to mediate between human beings and the supernatural world. The ritual practices that characterized these perceived contacts with the immaterial have left highly physical traces in the archaeological record of prehistoric peoples, and the potential for the recognition of shamanic belief systems in the past is now being realized as never before.

ISBN: 9780472084197 / Angielski / Miękka / 332 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.
