Abstract

community. For example, the Survey of Community Heritage Perception provided in the Appendix focused on heritage and development, but did not seem to offer the opportunity for community members to problematise the research questions of the archaeologists themselves. Here the aims of archaeologists and community members, in showing change versus continuity in tradition, for example, may differ significantly. In summary, this volume provides a comprehensive overview of the history and archaeology of ritual practice in the Tong Hills. It does so in a readable, lavishly illustrated format that is much more theoretically engaged than a site report, thus highlighting the value of the data presented for addressing larger scale issues of continuity and change in ritual practice. This format ensures that the volume will be useful not only to area specialists, but also to archaeologists interested in ritual and community archaeology more broadly.
