  • Balkan Prehistory

    Exclusion, Incorporation and Identity

    by Douglass W. Bailey ...

  • The Origins of Monsters

    Image and Cognition in the First Age of Mechanical Reproduction

    by David Wengrow ...
    Series series The Rostovtzeff Lectures
    It has often been claimed that "monsters"--supernatural creatures with bodies composed from multiple species--play a significant part in the thought and imagery of all people from all times. The Origins of Monsters advances an alternative view. Composite figurations are intriguingly rare and isolated in the art of the prehistoric era. Instead it was with the rise of cities, elites, and ... Read more
