Logistics in Greek Sanctuaries: Exploring the Human Experience of Visiting the Gods

Logistics in Greek Sanctuaries Exploring the Human Experience of Visiting the GodsSeries: Monumenta Graeca et Romana, Volume: 30 Monumenta Graeca et Romana, New Directions in Mediterranean Archaeology – New Directions in Mediterranean Archaeology, Volume: 30Volume Editors: Judith M. Barringer, Gunnel Ekroth, and David ScahillScholarly study of ancient Greek sanctuaries has tended to focus on religion and ritual, monuments, deities, sacrifice, and topography. Logistics in Greek Sanctuaries takes a completely novel perspective by shifting the focus away from the religious sphere and monumental aspects of sanctuaries to practical activity and the experience of the human visitor. Close examination of the more mundane and everyday life and activity in Greek cult places, e.g., sanitation, water and food supply, accommodation, markets, managing crowds and behavior, workers, and finances, reveals relatively unexplored facets of ancient Greek sanctuaries and offers new paths of investigation for the future.Front Matter Preliminary MaterialMGR Editorial Preface to Introduce the Subseries Monumenta Graeca et Romana, New Directions in Mediterranean Archaeology (MGR-NDMA) Authors: Troels Myrup Kristensen, Anna Collar, Søren Handberg, and Kathleen Lynch Figures Abbreviations Open Access Introduction Authors: Judith M.
