Review of Augé, Field Manual for the Archaeology of Ritual, Religion, and Magic

AMERICAN JOURNAL OF ARCHAEOLOGY BOOK REVIEW: Field Manual for the Archaeology of Ritual, Religion, and Magic, by C. Riley Augé (Thomas E. Emerson). HT Rogue Classicism.
Field Manual for the Archaeology of Ritual, Religion, and Magic
C. Riley Augé. New York: Berghahn 2022. Pp. 188. ISBN 978-1-80073-504-0 (ebook) $27.95.

... While Augé addresses her volume to archaeologists, it seems to me that it has value also for those involved more tangentially, such as researchers in material culture studies, epigraphers, historic site inter-preters, and members of the general public with interests in the spiritual side of the material world.

The review is open access.

This book would be of interest for a number of ancient sites in Israel, including Arad and, recently, the Te’omim Cave.
