Index 506
"Sue Alcock and Robin Osborne's Classical Archaeology is
already a classic in its own right, and this second edition keeps
it up-to-date with the latest finds and ideas coming out of
Mediterranean archaeology. The essays in this volume remain the
best starting point for any student coming to the
field."
- Ian Morris, Stanford University
"This second edition builds on and improves the strengths
of the first, adding crucial chapters on that central issue in
Classical archaeology - namely art"
- James Whitley, Cardiff University
"To the question, 'what is classical
archaeology?' this book provides a robust response: it is a
discipline that is alive with new questions, new theories, and an
ever-expanding corpus of material-cultural knowledge of the world
of Greek and Roman antiquity."
- R. Bruce Hitchner, Tufts University
"With essays by some of the leading lights of the
discipline, revised to take account of the latest research, and
expanded with two new essays on classical art, the second edition
of Alcock and Osborne's Classical Archaeology offers the best
introduction to the field for students and teachers
alike."
- Jeremy Tanner, University College London
"A star-studded volume that assures the Classical world
its rightfully prominent place within world archaeology, while also
satisfying those looking for a deeper interrogation of its
past."
- Cyprian Broodbank, University College London
