Opis

The archaeology of Greece remains ensconced in traditional discourses of classics and art history. In recent decades, fieldwork has led to new research directions, allowing us to reevaluate classical archaeology as a distinct field generating its own research questions. This book compiles case studies of current fieldwork in the Greek world (ca. 800-100 B.C.), considering new data and approaches in shaping a discourse in Greek archaeology.

Recenzje

"This volume is a collective, multi-regional, multiperiod, and multi-disciplinary reflexion on what is and what should be classical archaeology. [...] Classical Archaeology in Context is the first (hand)book of its kind. [...] This book will surely inspire historians and archaeology practicians and can help to develop a best practice guide in our field."
Florence Gaignerot-Driessen in: Journal of Greek Archaeology 2 (2017), 429-432
