Linear reflections : ritual memory and material reflection at the thirteen altars at lavinium / Claudia Moser -- Re-placing the Nile : water and mimesis in the Roman practice of Egyptian religion at Pergamon / Cecelia A. Feldman -- Itinerant creeds : the Chinese northern frontier / Paola Dematte -- The dig at the end of the world : archaeology and apocalypse, tourism in the valley of Armageddon / Isaac Morrison -- Power of place : ruler, landscape, and ritual space at the sanctuaries of Labraunda and Mamurt Kale in Asia Minor / Christina Williamson -- Transforming the surroundings and its impact on cult rituals : the case study of Artemis Mounichia in the Fifth Century / Chyssanthi Papadopoulou -- The sacred houses in Neolithic Wansan Society / Chih-hua Chiang and Yi-chang Liu -- Putting religious ritual in its place : on some ways humans cognitive predilections influence the locations and shapes of religious rituals / Robert N. McCauley -- The aptitude for scared space / Ian B. Straughn.
Ritual happens in distinct places - in temples, in caves, along pilgrimage routes - and religious activities there incorporate a diverse set of objects such as holy water, cult statues, and sacred texts. Understanding religious ritual requires viewing it not as a disembodied event, but as emplaced, grounded in both built and natural surroundings, and integrated with its associated material objects. Here authors examine various religious practices in the Greco-Roman world and pilgrimage routes in contemporary Israel. Other contributions focus on the East, on domestic religion in prehistoric Tai.
