Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Edition. "Employing an eclectic range of theoretical and methodological lenses, Katina Lillios surveys all that is currently known about the Iberian engraved stone plaques and advances her own carefully considered hypotheses about their manufacture and meanings. After analyzing data on the plaques' workmanship and distribution, she builds a convincing case that the majority of the Iberian plaques were genealogical records of the dead that served as durable markers of regional and local group identities. Such records, she argues, would have contributed toward legitimating and perpetuating an ideology of inherited social difference in the Iberian Late Neolithic." Numerous textual figures. Tall octavo. Original black cloth binding, with silver titles. A fine copy in a fine dust jacket.
