Opis

The Archaeology of Art introduces students to the analysis of visual expression in the archaeological record and charts a fresh prospectus for the study of archaeological art. The topic intercuts almost all areas of archaeological enquiry but is often divided up into disciplinary sub-fields which rarely engage with one another. One of the key arguments of this book is the call for a distinctive ‘archaeology of art’ based upon key archaeological interpretative principles as opposed to those borrowed from anthropology or art history.
