Contents:
Part I. Approaches to Greek Archaeology: -- Part II. Archaic Greece: -- Part III. Classical Greece: --
Summary: The Archaeology of Ancient Greece provides an up-to-date synthesis of current research on the material culture of Greece in the Archaic and Classical periods (1000-300 B.C.). The rich and diverse material culture of ancient Greece has always provoked admiration and even wonder, but it is seldom analysed as a key to our understanding of Greek civilisation. Dr. Whitley shows how the material evidence can be used to address central historical questions for which literary evidence is often insufficient. He also situates Greek art within the broader field of Greek material culture, providing an historically more accurate perspective on both, and a significant contribution to the integration of archaeological and art historical evidence.
