| Summary: | Sacred values : medieval archaeology and spiritual heritage -- Monastic archaeology and national identity : the Scottish monastic experience -- Spirit, mind and body : the archaeology of monastic healing -- The materiality of magic : the ritual lives of people and things -- Monastic legacies : memory and the biography of place -- Sacred myths : archaeology and authenticity. "In this open access volume, Roberta Gilchrist critically evaluates the concept of sacred heritage. Drawing on global perspectives from heritage studies, archaeology, museology, anthropology and architectural history, she examines the multiple values of medieval Christian heritage. Gilchrist investigates monastic archaeology through the lens of the material study of religion and reveals the sensory experience of religion through case studies including Glastonbury Abbey and Scottish monasticism.
