       the traditions of pilgrimage and household"--Provided by

520    "In this book, Joy McCorriston examines the continuity of 
       traditions over millennia in the Near East. Tracing the 
       phenomenon of pilgrimage in pre-Islamic Arabia up through 
       the development of the Hajj, she defines its essential 
       characteristics and emphasizes the critical role that 
       pilgrimage plays in enabling and developing socioeconomic 
       transactions. Indeed, the social identities constructed 
       through pilgrimage are key to understanding the long-term 
       endurance of the phenomenon. In the second part of the 
       book, McCorriston turns to the household, using cases of 
       ancient households in Mesopotamian societies, both in the 
       private and public spheres. Her conclusions tie together 
       broader theoretical implications generated by the study of
       the two phenomena and offer a new paradigm for 
       archaeological study, which has traditionally focused on 
       transitions to the exclusion of continuity of traditions"-
