Sanctuaries and Experience: Knowledge, Practice and Space in the Ancient World - 08-09-10/04/2019, L


Sanctuaries—places that are permanently special, even when no rituals are taking place—are common, perhaps universal, products of human societies. The practices that are carried out in relation to them help to form, assert and reaffirm group identities through the accumulation of shared, often repeated experiences.
