Description
Summary:•Archaeology of fire.•Fire as transformer of matter.•Containers or Fire as artefact.•Sensory experience. Fire is one of the most important topics in archaeology due to its immense contribution to the history of humanity. The collection of present texts is not intended to be an exhaustive presentation of the ways in which fire can be used, but rather aims to highlight some unstudied characteristics of the relationship of fire with human beings and material culture, as can be deduced from the introductory chapter signed by Lisa Monetti on the triadic nature of fire: agent, artefact, and participant at the same time, a triad that structures this JASR Special Issue.
