Reading Medieval Ruins: Urban Life and Destruction in Sixteenth-Century Japan
Pitelka, Morgan (University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill)
Drawing on rich archaeological evidence uncovered at Ichijodani, Pitelka proposes a new understanding of late medieval Japanese society. Exploring the city's layout, residents' possessions, politics, war, religion, and cultural networks, he argues that provincial centers could be dynamic and vibrant nodes of entrepreneurship and sophistication.
