It spans a dynamic era that saw the growth of large settlement communities and regional socio-political formations, development of economic specializations, intensification in interregional commercial networks, and the effects of the Black Death pandemic. The extraordinary preservation of architectural units, activity areas and industrial zones provides a unique opportunity to discern the cultural practices that created stratified mounds (tells) in this part of West Africa. Building from a new detailed zooarchaeological analysis and refinements in stratigraphic precision, this book argues that repeated ritual activity was a significant factor in the accumulation of stratified archaeological deposits. The book details consistencies in form and content of discrete loci containing animal bones, food remains, and broken and unbroken objects and suggests that these are the remnants of sequential ancestor shrines created when domestic spaces were converted to tombs or dedicated mortuary monuments were constructed. Continuities and transformations in ancestral rituals at Kirikongo inform on earlier West African ritual practices from the second millennium BC as well as political and social transformations at the site. More broadly, this case study provides new insights on anthropogenic mound (tell) formation processes, social zooarchaeology, material culture theory, historical ontology, and the analysis of ritual and religion in the archaeological record"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 277-302) and index. 505 0 $a Archaeology and sacrifice in central West Africa -- Kirikongo in historical and social context -- Archaeology of animals in West Africa -- The animals of Kirikongo -- Depositional contexts and relational associations -- Divine consumption : feasts, sacrifice, and societal transformation -- Emplacing ancestors : enabling co-presence through material sacrifice and rituals of attachment/detachment -- Sacrificing animals, objects, and houses : toward an archaeology of attachment and detachment. 650 0 $a Sacrifice $z Kirikongo Site. $z Kirikongo Site. 650 0 $a Ritual $z Kirikongo Site. $z Kirikongo Site. 650 0 $a Ancestor worship $z Kirikongo Site. $z Kirikongo Site. 650 0 $a Animal remains (Archaeology) $z Kirikongo Site. $z Kirikongo Site. 650 0 $a Domestic animals $z Kirikongo Site. $z Kirikongo Site. 650 0 $a Iron age $z Africa, West. 650 0 $a Excavations (Archaeology) $z Mohoun. $z Mohoun. 650 7 $a Ancestor worship. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00808464 650 7 $a Animal remains (Archaeology) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00809354 650 7 $a Antiquities. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00810745 650 7 $a Domestic animals. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00896543 650 7 $a Excavations (Archaeology) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00917564 650 7 $a Iron age. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00979145 650 7 $a Ritual. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01098241 650 7 $a Sacrifice. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01103249 651 0 $a Kirikongo Site (Burkina Faso) 651 0 $a Mohoun (Burkina Faso) $x Antiquities. 651 7 $a Burkina Faso $z Kirikongo Site. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst02040302 651 7 $a West Africa. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01239521 830 0 $a Monumenta archaeologica (Los Angeles, Calif.) ; $v v. 48. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117011227.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=413A6BE80CD411EEAAE9666853ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
