"The statue-stelae of Early Iron Age Daunia (north Apulia, Italy) are a group of stone
slabs, each incised to represent the garb and accoutrements of a person. Many have
additional figurative images drawn on their robes showing ritual practices, everyday
activities and scenes of local legend. Much that is attested upon the stelae is today
otherwise intangible, including not only perishable items (leather, textiles, skin)
but the articulation of local customs and narratives. The people of Daunia stood --
metaphorically and literally -- between the Etruscans, Samnites, Illyrians, and Greek
colonists of Magna Grecia, but are not as well understood as those peoples. Beyond
the funerary record, the material culture of Daunians is relatively poorly known.
The stelae, however, provide a rich source of self-representation, offering an unparalleled
window into the lives of a proto-historic people. This book offers an in-depth analysis
of the monuments while fixing them in the broader framework of reference for pre-Roman
Italy and the Adriatic. Grounded in the scholarship of post-colonial and gender archaeology,
it pays full respect to the agency of indigenous societies and the important role
of women. This is the first time a holistic study of the stelae has been undertaken,
and the first presentation of the material in English"
