Classical Archaeology

edited by Susan E. Alcock and Robin Osbourne

This volume in the Blackwell Studies in Global Archaeology looks at the archaeology of the classical world. It acknowledges from the start that this is a loaded term, and there is plenty of discussion on the nature and history of classical archaeology. Unlike previous introductory textbooks it is not organised by classes of artefact or site (vases, roads, military camps etc), but thematically, with chapters looking at human ecology, landscape, urban archaeology, households, the archaeology of religion, of the personal and political, on constructing identity, and on links with the wider world. Under each of these sections there are two essays, one on the Greek world and one on the Roman, and the chapters are linked together with short editorial introductions. 447p b/w illus (Routledge 2007)
