Description
Summary:Chapter 5 applies these ideas to the funerary rites of Early Bronze Age Crete, commencing with a kind of thick description of the sensoriality of burying someone in a communal tomb. Green's study of the physical organisation of rural landscape in Byzantine Cyprus combines archaeological survey data and historic landscape analysis to investigate how the landscape was ordered and what this can tell us about the perceptions and experiences of people living and travelling there.
