Description

Religious change is both a material and spiritual process. Beliefs related to intangible spirits, ghosts, or gods were enacted through material relationships between people, places and objects. The archaeology of mission sites from Tanna and Erromango islands offers a case study for understanding the material dimension of religious change.
