The centre of this book is a catalogue of all known Bronze Age metalwork found in the province of East Flanders (Belgium). Each catalogue entry contains a critical assessment the object's authenticity, a short description, the story of its discovery and an extensive bibliography. `Reliability classes' are used to assess the authenticity of context, especially important when wet vs dry depositions have been interpreted so differently. Finally, the author attempts to formulate an explanatory model for deposition, based particularly on the East Flanders material.

Drawing on social science perspectives, Contested Categories presents a series of empirical studies that engage with the often shifting and day-to-day realities of life sciences categories. In doing so, it shows how such categories remain contested and dynamic, and that the boundaries they create are subject to negotiation as well as re-configuration and re-stabilization processes. Organized around the themes of biological substances and objects, personhood and the genomic body and the creation and dispersion of knowledge, each of the volume’s chapters reveals the elusive nature of fixity with regard to life science categories. With contributions from an international team of scholars, this book will be essential reading for anyone interested in the social, legal, policy and ethical implications of science and technology and the life sciences.
