This collection of papers was first presented at a 1997 conference in Edinburgh, and now includes an introduction by Bispham (ancient history, U. of Oxford) and an additional essay by Smith (ancient history, U. of St. Andrews, Scotland). Among other topics, the contributors (academics in archaeology and classical studies) consider anthropological approaches to ritual, the form and decoration of Etruscan temples, the possible ritual deposition of Etruscan terracottas, the relation of the introduction of new gods to political and social change, and the use of prophecy in the first through third centuries.
