Produktbeschreibung
Time, Tradition and Society in Greek Archaeology is an innovative volume which examines the relevance of archaeological theory to classical archaeology. It offers a wideranging overview of classical archaeology, from the Bronze Age to the Classical period and from mainland Greece to Cyprus. Within this framework Spencer examines many of the issues which have become important in the study of archaeology in recent years - time, the 'past', gender, ideology, social structure and group identity. The papers in this collection cover such diverse topics as the rural landscape, classical art and scientific methodologies. Over the last century the study of classical archaeology has been orthodox and static. The essays in this collection examine it in the light of current theoretical archaeology and anthropology, making it more relevant and valuable to the study of archaeology in the 1990s. This is a diverse and topical collection, of great value to classicists, ancient historians, anthropologists and everyone interested in new approaches to archaeology.
Over the last century the study of classical archaeology has tended to be very traditional. By examining it in the light of current theoretical archaeology and anthropology, the discipline is made more valuable to the study of archaeology in the 1990s. Time, Tradition and Society in Greek Archaeology is an innovative volume which examines the relevance of archaeological theory to classical archaeology. It offers a wide-ranging overview of classical archaeology, from the Bronze Age to the Classical period and from mainland Greece to Cyprus. Within this framework the book considers many of the issues which have become important in the study of archaeology in recent years - time, the 'past', gender, ideology, social structure and group identitycovering such diverse topics as ethnicity, the rural landscape, hero cult, funerary architecture and classical art. A collection of such varied and topical papers will be of value to classicists, ancient historians, anthropologists and everyone interested in new approaches to archaeology.
