"In this book, Joy McCorriston examines the continuity of traditions over millennia
in the Near East by focusing on the traditions of pilgrimage and household"--Provided
by publisher ; "In this book, Joy McCorriston examines the continuity of traditions
over millennia in the Near East. Tracing the phenomenon of pilgrimage in pre-Islamic
Arabia up through the development of the Hajj, she defines its essential characteristics
and emphasizes the critical role that pilgrimage plays in enabling and developing
socioeconomic transactions. Indeed, the social identities constructed through pilgrimage
are key to understanding the long-term endurance of the phenomenon. In the second
part of the book, McCorriston turns to the household, using cases of ancient households
in Mesopotamian societies, both in the private and public spheres. Her conclusions
tie together broader theoretical implications generated by the study of the two phenomena
and offer a new paradigm for archaeological study, which has traditionally focused
on transitions to the exclusion of continuity of traditions"--Provided by publisher
