How can human sensuous experiences through sight, sound, taste, smell and touch be studied in past worlds? In which ways may such a bodily
perspective affect our interpretations?
In this volume, the authors explore a wide range of topics, such as the materialisation and symbolism of colour, the sensuous dimensions of
commensality, and cultural constructions concerning pain and odour. The articles comprise examples from various regions and time periods from Scandinavian Iron Age burial rites and classical Maya monumental art to issues of death and burial in eighteenth-century Sweden.
