About the AuthorLynn Meskell is Assistant Professor, Department of Anthropology, Columbia University, and the author of several books, including Private Life in Kingdom Egypt.Product DescriptionIn this excellent new study, Lynn Meskell studies materialism in an ancient archaeological context arguing that, both in this instance and in broader terms, we must free ourselves from the boundaries of meaning that we impose on objects from the pastbased on our own experiences. Beginning in New Kingdom Egypt, she examines how material objects reflected and influenced social life' and how people engaged with objects in all types of activities. Although ancient Egypt is her chosen case study, thisbook addresses much more fundamental issues to do with how societies conceive of, use and discard objects and this book willappeal to a much wider scholarly audience. In the final chapter Meskell looks at how these ancient cities are experienced andappreciated in the contemporary world, how and why they are replicated and how they are presented to the public throughmuseums. ^G248p, b/w figs (Berg
