{"product_id":"the-multivocality-of-weapons-von-erin-farley","title":"The Multivocality of Weapons","description":"\u003cp\u003eLate Iron Age research published to date deals with  two main types of archaeological contexts:  settlements and burials. Research on La Tène is  distinct because it analyzes a votive deposit  complex on the shore of a lake where vast quantities  of ironwork, e.g. tools and weapons have been found  along with human and faunal remains.This work  presents an analysis of materials from the site of  La Tène on Lake Neuchâtel, Switzerland.Comparing  the La Tène weapons, to those from two other  contemporary contexts, Münsingen-Rain and Gournay- sur-Aronde provides a methodology to theoretically  interpret the meaning of weapons in late Iron Age  society, especially their link with elite male  power. This work further investigates through the  use of archaeological evidence and literary text  from three cultural groups,Irish\/Welsh, Classical,  and Germanic, the meaning ascribed to objects in the  past and the present. It contributes to the  archaeological literature on topics such as the  transformative impact of archaeological contexts  relating to context¿dependent multivocality of  symbolically charged object categories such as  weapons, and provides an analysis of votive  deposits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783838327037\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFunctional and Symbolic Aspects of Celtic Weaponry\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783838327037","offer_id":39499057463389,"sku":"9783838327037","price":68.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/68a41c87-eb78-4735-8374-1b8f9bf4ef11.jpg?v=1776054294","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/the-multivocality-of-weapons-von-erin-farley","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
