Description:

In this timely collection, Neil Price brings together recent archaeological thought on shamanism. Issues addressed include shamanic material culture, responses to dying and the dead, shamanism in the context of other belief systems such as totemism, shamanic soundscapes, and the use of ritual architecture. With case studies from the arctic Greenland to Africa and from Europe to Asia this work covers the Palaeolithic to the present day.
