Abstract
Lives in fragments?; Personhood and the European Neolithic
Andy M Jones
193 - 224
The article suggests that, whereas the European Neolithic has often been figured in ideational terms, transformations that gave rise to sedentism, agriculture and the construction of monuments having been explained either in terms of abstract symbolic schemes or as a change in worldview and cosmology, a greater emphasis needs to be placed on the constitution of the person during this period. The author argues that, instead of focusing on the playing out of symbolic structures, it is instead important to consider the role that materiality plays in forming social relations; and that by focusing on the treatment of material culture, human remains and the use of architecture, it is possible to understand in concrete terms not only how the European Neolithic was built, but also how people were transformed through this process.
Keeping the dead at arm's length: memory, weaponry and early medieval mortuary techn...
Howard Williams
253 - 275
Article discussing the two kinds of furnished graves dating to the late fifth and sixth centuries AD from southern and eastern England -- inhumation and cremation. While the `weapon burial rite' is a frequent occurrence for inhumation graves, weapons are rarely found in cinerary urns. The author argues that this divergence may relate to the contrasting roles of cremation and inhumation as mortuary technologies of remembrance linked to alternative strategies for managing the powerful mnemonic agency of weapons.
