Abstract: |
introduction, exploring recurrent themes based on the key issues of: the criteria for archaeological interpretation of ritual space; issues and difficulties raised by the definition of ritual space; the concept of the boundary in the relationship between ritual and non-ritual space; the differentiation of ritual space as a reflection of culturally specific cosmological concepts, and its use to communicate or reinforce information; and responses to death, and associated ritual behaviour, as demonstrated through the use of space on mortuary or burial sites |
