In Continental and Northern Europe, especially in the Migration Period and the Early Middle Ages, animals were both feared and revered. Varying and often ambivalent perceptions of fauna were expressed through everyday practices, religious beliefs, and the zoomorphic ornamentation of a wide plethora of objects that ranged from jewellery, weapons, and equestrian equipment to wagons and ships. This timely volume critically investigates the multivalence of animals in medieval archaeology, literature, and art in order to present human attitudes to creatures such as bears, horses, dogs, and birds in a novel and interdisciplinary way. The chapters gathered together here explore the prominence of animals, animal parts, and their various visual representations in domestic spaces and the wider public arena, on the battlefield, and in an array of ritual practices, but also examine the importance of zoomorphic art for emerging elites at a time of social and political tensions across Scandinavia and the oft-overlooked Western Slavic and Baltic societies. This innovative book draws together scholars from across Europe in order to pave the way for a nuanced international and interdisciplinary dialogue that has the capacity to substantially increase our perception of human and animal worlds of the Early Middle Ages."-- |cPublisher's website. 650 0 Funeral rites and ceremonies, Medieval. |=^A868717 650 0 Burial |xHistory |yTo 1500. |=^A171799 650 0 Human-animal relationships |xHistory |yTo 1500. |=^A1012620 650 0 Human-animal relationships |zEurope |xHistory |yTo 1500. |=^A271792 650 0 Human-animal relationships |xReligious aspects |xHistory |yTo 1500. |=^A881190 650 0 Animals and civilization |xHistory |yTo 1500. |=^A47605 650 0 Animals |xSocial aspects |xHistory |yTo 1500. |=^A379661 650 0 Animal remains (Archaeology) |=^A92784 650 0 Animal remains (Archaeology) |zEurope. |=^A92784 650 0 Archaeology, Medieval. |=^A94676 650 0 Animals in art |xHistory. |=^A53128 650 0 Civilization, Medieval. |=^A20858 650 7 Animals in art. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00809573 650 7 Burial. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00841751 650 7 Human-animal relationships |xReligious aspects. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00963489 648 7 To 1500 |2fast 655 7 History. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 Gardeła, Leszek, |eeditor. |=^A1461345 700 1 Kajkowski, Kamil, |eeditor. |=^A1461224 830 0 New approaches in archaeology (Brepols (Firm)) ; |v1. |?UNAUTHORIZED 949 Order on Demand |wASIS |hJOYNER219 960 |o1 |s100.00 |uJHIS |zUSD 961 |fDMD |m138099 596 1 998 6250909
