{"product_id":"human-animal-relations-in-bronze-age-andrew-shapland-9781009151542","title":"Human-Animal Relations in Bronze Age Crete: A History Through Objects","description":"Archaeologists have long admired the naturalistic animal art of Minoan Crete, often explaining it in terms of religion or a love of the natural world. In this book, Andrew Shapland provides a new way of understanding animal depictions from Bronze Age Crete as the outcome of human-animal relations. Drawing on approaches from anthropology and Human-Animal Studies, he explores the stylistic development of animal depictions in different media, including frescoes, ceramics, stone vessels, seals and wall paintings, and explains them in terms of 'animal practices' such as bull-leaping, hunting, fishing and collecting. Integrating zooarchaeological finds, Shapland highlights the significance of objects and their associated human-animal relations in the history of the palaces, sanctuaries and tombs of Bronze Age Crete. His volume demonstrates how looking at animals opens up new perspectives on familiar sites such as Knossos and some of the most famous objects of this time and place.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrew Shapland\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1009151541\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781009151542\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/28\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 290\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.17w x 0.79d","brand":"Andrew Shapland","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44059222442239,"sku":"9781009151542","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d125a43e-e593-4d28-b25f-e97c7fe219a9.jpg?v=1685056935","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/human-animal-relations-in-bronze-age-andrew-shapland-9781009151542","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
