Tools and Traditions

This multi-disciplinary and multi-national volume analyzes and interprets artefacts and their context, and discusses issues in material culture. It should also be useful as a handbook of ethnology, indicating the scope and potential of the relevant disciplines, and providing some measures of definition. This collection was specially written by 37 of Europe's foremost scholars in honour of Professor Alexander Fenton, who initiated the European Ethnological Research Centre, and it aims to bring with it an awareness of the wide context of European ethnological studies.
