"When the Bones Are Left". A Study of the Material Culture of Central Sulawesi
Finnish Anthropological Society
Transactions of the Finnish Anthropological Society (TAFAS) 31
Jyväskylä 1992, 297 pp.
Kotilainen examines the notions of cosmos and society as expressed in Central Sulawesi, Indonesia, in the early 1900s. The material culture, tangible objects like bridewealth, bones as a shaman´s attributes, reflect the local concept of times as well as the relationship and challenges the position of individual intresses as the major force behind social change.
