Buch Details
This book explores the means by which colour-based cultural understandings are formed, and how they are used to sustain or alter social relations. From colour systems in the Mesolithic, to Aztec symbolism and the use of colour in Roman Pompeii, this book paints a new picture of the past. Through their close observation of monuments and material culture, authors uncover the subtle role colour has played in the construction of past social identities and the expression of ancient beliefs.
Author Biography: Andrew Jones is a Research Fellow of the McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research in Cambridge. Gavin MacGregor is Project Officer, Archaeological Research Division, Glasgow University.
