Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
the paper studies a particular type of carved stone ball in order to highlight several issues pertaining to the interpretation of material culture in general. The need to consider the sensory perception of artefacts is suggested as a means to a deeper interpretation of their biography. The paper also raises the possibility that the biography of artefacts may also include a number of resurrections relating to their movement between different ages or systems of understanding. The paper discusses the continued re-contextualization of carved stone balls in contemporary Scotland in order to demonstrate the importance of recognizing the continued role of artefacts in maintaining particular views of the world | ||
