Archaeologies of Cult: Essays on Ritual and Cult in Crete in Honor of Geraldine C. Gesell

by Anna Lucia D' Agata, Anna Lucia D'Agata, Aleydis Van de Moortel, et al.

Intended as a tribute to a pioneer in the field of Cretan cult study, 28 of Geraldine Gesell's former students and colleagues present aspects of ritual and religion on Crete. In a variety of approaches the discourse ranges in time from the Iron Age to the Bronze Age and in subject matter from cult practices to sacred landscapes. A combined bibliography provides a useful reference tool for a survey of literature on the subject.
