This series reorganizes, under new headings, the data outlined in Volume One. Carpenter's presentation deals with the origin of the iconography, stressing design as a cultural document, and argues in favor of Schuster's emphasis on ephemeral materials over archeological evidence. Carpenter introduces the concept of family trees, citing their manifestations in tree worship and sacrificial posts, as representative of genealogy. He examines Y-posts and Y-staffs, double-headed anthropomorphic figures and vessels, shaved sticks, stacked ancestors and heavenly ladders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Edmund Carpenter, Carl Schuster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 194398204X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781943982042\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rock Foundations Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 300\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.94d","brand":"Edmund Carpenter","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44074344513791,"sku":"9781943982042","price":48.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c2b680d9-b559-4c92-8a43-4488e2136906.jpg?v=1685453217","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/social-symbolism-in-ancient-edmund-carpenter-9781943982042","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
