The purpose of this last substantive chapter of the book is twofold. First, I reiterate a number of differences between the interpretation of the naked EIA males that I have presented here and views about them that arose from previous, relational and text-based approaches to the same material. Second, I articulate a number of new questions that may be posed of cultural and ritual history based on this treatment, questions that might not have occurred to historians to ask based on previous reconstructions of the evidence. The goal of this chapter is therefore to highlight how the results of this study may move understanding of EIA nudity forward, while the concluding chapter that follows will comment on the value of the study from the point of view of methodological challenges involved in constructing a non-relational, non-textually determined understanding of EIA society.
