Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Drawing upon analogies from living traditions, the paper explores the evidence for symbolism associated with head and body hair in later European prehistory. This evidence includes the survival of hair in the archaeological record, iconography, and the equipment used for the management of hair. Questions are raised as to the manner in which hair may have been employed in visual languages, not only those associated with self-identity, but also in the presentation of `others', whether social outcasts, sacrificial victims, shamed prisoners or special people such as priests, shamans or heroes. Issues of relationships between hair and gender are addressed, particularly with reference to iconography. The final part of the paper is concerned with the socio-political connotations associated with personal grooming and, in particular, the significance of adopting new, Roman, ways of managing hair in late Iron Age Britain. Includes French, German and Spanish summaries. | |||||
