Monumental Choreography: Architecture and Spatial Representation in Late Neolithic Orkney

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

Using the sites of Maes Howe, Barnhouse and Steness Stones as case studies, the author investigates how builder's constructed these structures in order to establish a metaphorical link between public ritual structures and households. This in effect would legitimize or naturalize any relations (though not specified as assymetric in the chapter) by incoporating domestic and therefore common conceptions into a extra-household ritual context.
