Table of Contents1: Introduction: Identity and Alterity in Bronze Age Britain and Ireland 2: Fragmenting the Body 3: Object Biographies 4: The Living House 5: Social Landscapes 6: Conclusion: The Flow of Life in Bronze Age Britain and IrelandReviewsIf you want a book that emphasises the complex relations out of which the past emerges, that asks us to take the daily lives of ordinary people seriously, and which recognises that the simple oppositions we draw between people, things, animals, and places weremore complex in the past than we sometimes assume, then I cannot recommend this highly enough. * Oliver Harris, European Journal of Archaeology * If you want a book that emphasises the complex relations out of which the past emerges, that asks us to take the daily lives of ordinary people seriously, and which recognises that the simple oppositions we draw between people, things, animals, and places weremore complex in the past than we sometimes assume, then I cannot recommend this highly enough. * Oliver Harris, European Journal of Archaeology * The book is beautifully written, highly detailed, thought-provoking and extremely up to date...This is a richly textured book that I expect will stand the test of time; it is important reading for those interested in Bronze Age North-west Europe and for anyone seeking an excellent example of how to draw inferences about personhood and ontology from archaeological evidence. * Chris Fowler, Newcastle University, Antiquity * Author InformationJoanna Brück is Professor of Archaeology at University of Bristol and was previously Senior Lecturer at University College Dublin. Her primary area of research is the archaeology of Bronze Age Britain and Ireland. She is particularly interested in the treatment of the human body and concepts of the self; depositional practices and what these reveal about the meanings and values ascribed to objects; and the relationship between space and society including domestic architecture and the changing organisation of landscape. She co-organises the Bronze Age Forum and is an editor of Archaeological Dialogues. She has also recently published an edited volume on the material and visual culture of the 1916 Rising in Ireland.
