Infos

Tumuli were the most widespread form of monumental tombs in the ancient world. Their impact on landscape, their allurement as well as their symbolic reference to a glorious past can still be felt today. The need of supra-regional and cross-disciplinary examination of this unique phenomenon led to the organisation of an international conference in Istanbul in 2009. The proceedings of TumulIstanbul revolve around the question of the symbolic significance of burial mounds in the 1^st millennium BC in the Eastern Mediterranean and Black-Sea regions, also providing further insight into their Kurgan neighbours from Eurasia.

Rezensionen

"The text is accompanied by a separate volume of full-colour plates, making them easy to consult in tandem. [...] It is completed by helpful indices of names, places, tumulus names, and ancient sources. [...] this is a fabulous volume, and will be a crucial addition to any serious archaeology collection."
Naoise Mac Sweeny in: Journal of Greek Archaeology 2 (2017), 461-464
