Minoan baetyls are commonly understood by reference to the interpretive vocabularies of ancient Near Eastern traditions developed by comparative ethnographies popular in the early 20th century. This study presents and interrogates the Aegean evidence for baetyl cult, providing a catalogue of archaeological evidence attesting to this cultic practice. Contextual analysis provides the basis for interpreting and (re)constructing aspects of the cult. It is argued that the ambiguity inherent in these aniconic stones renders them uniquely flexible in serving multiple cultic, ritual and ideological functions across different contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sam Crooks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e British Archaeological Reports Oxford Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/15\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 79\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.69h x 8.27w x 0.25d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781407311296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eCrooks, Sam:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Sam Crooks\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"British Archaeological Reports Oxford Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44321902493811,"sku":"9781407311296","price":66.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_100ac5f7-a9c9-48bb-a00c-a6605e703f78.jpg?v=1771506531","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/what-are-these-queer-stones-baetyls-epistemology-of-a-minoan-fetish-9781407311296","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
