Hardback. Zoe Crossland (Columbia University, New York), Cambridge University Press. Nineteenth-century highland Madagascar was a place inhabited by the dead as much as the living. Ghosts, ancestors and the possessed were important historical actors alongside local kings and queens, soldiers, traders and missionaries. This book considers the challenges that such actors pose for historical accounts of the past and for thinking about questions of presence and representation. How were the dead made present, and how were they recognized or not? In attending to these multifarious encounters of the nineteenth century, how might we reflect on the ways in which our own history-writing makes the dead present? To tackle these questions, Zoe Crossland tells an anthropological history of highland Madagascar from a perspective rooted in archaeology and Peircean semiotics, as well as in landscape study, oral history and textual sources.Zoe Crossland is Associate Professor of Anthropology at Columbia University. Her research focuses on the historical archaeology of Madagascar, as well as forensic archaeology and evidential practices around human remains. She is the co-author of A Fine and Private Place: The Archaeology of Death and Burial in Post-Medieval Britain and Ireland (with Annia Cherryson and Sarah Tarlow) and the editor of Disturbing Bodies: Perspectives on Forensic Anthropology (with Rosemary Joyce, forthcoming). Her work has appeared in American Anthropologist and Archaeological Dialogues, and is forthcoming from the Annual Review of Anthropology. She established the U.S. branch of the Theoretical Archaeology Group, an international conference devoted to discussing archaeological theory. Hardback.

Soft cover. Condición: New. x, 276 pages : illustrations (some colour), graphs, maps, plans ; 30 cm. "Summary" has parallel text in French and German. Only a few decades ago the post-medieval burial grounds of Britain and Ireland were routinely destroyed or damaged in the course of development without any archaeological recording having taken place. However, during the 1990s influential site reports such as the crypt clearance at Christ Church, Spitalfields in London demonstrated that the detailed archaeological study of such sites can tell us a great deal, help us to refine our own methods and capture the imagination of the wider public. Since then numerous archaeological projects have taken place in burial grounds, although it is still the case that only a relatively small number of these are published and readily accessible. Despite the publication of several important site reports in recent years, there is almost no archaeological literature which brings together the primary archaeological evidence from several sites, and nothing approaching the size or scope of this book, the first interpretative and synthetic discussion of the below-ground archaeology of death and burial in post-medieval Britain and Ireland. Chapters review the evidence for the preparation of the corpse; the coffin and other things that accompanied the corpse to the grave; the burial landscape including the different kinds of cemeteries and burial places used in the period; unusual burials (criminals, suicides, excommunicants, victims of war or shipwreck and others); and evidence of the development of scientific knowledge of the body through anatomical dissection, embalming and display. There is also a gazetteer of over 500 sites of archaeologically excavated post-medieval human burial, with references, site summaries and other details.
