CLA260H1 Lecture Notes - Lecture 18: Anthony Snodgrass, Heinrich Schliemann, Susan E. Alcock
Document Summary
In addition to chapter 14 in the textbook (and bibliography for session 6), useful material is collected in the volume classical archaeology (in the. Blackwell studies in global archaeology series) edited by robin osborne and susan alcock (2008). More than any other branch of archaeology, classical archaeology has a history. It is also that what scholars do with that material culture today is in dialogue not just with the greek and roman past but with the history of its own scholarship [] Part of the peculiar position of classical archaeology arises from the way in which it is both a branch of archaeology and a branch of classics. Interest in the material culture of greek and roman antiquity has arisen not simply through the intrinsic interest of the material but through interest in the relationship between the material world and the world of classical texts.
