About this book

Why did people in the past hide animal bones and other objects in the structures of their buildings? This study discusses building concealment practices and the worldview where they were meaningful in the light of archaeological finds and folklore accounts. Moreover, the book introduces a means for studying historical folk religion as part of the archaeology of religion.
