Description: This is the first undergraduate textbook on archaeology and religion. It contains examples from around the world, both simple and complex societies. It is accessible to the general reader. With this engaging and readable book, Steadman fills an important empty niche in texts on how archaeology interprets past religions. Steadman includes case studies from around the world, from the study of Upper Paleolithic religions and of shamans in foraging societies to formal religious structures in advanced complex societies of Mesopotamia, Egypt, India and the Andes. She also includes key contemporary religions - Christianity, Islam, Buddhism among others - to provide an historical and comparative context. This is an ideal text for archaeology of religion courses or any class that includes a significant component on 'past religions,' as well as an excellent guide for general readers.
