Download or read book Artifact Artifice written by Jonathan M. Hall and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2014-01-10 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is it possible to trace the footprints of the historical Sokrates in Athens? Was there really an individual named Romulus, and if so, when did he found Rome? Is the tomb beneath the high altar of St. Peter’s Basilica home to the apostle Peter? To answer these questions, we need both dirt and words—that is, archaeology and history. Bringing the two fields into conversation, Artifact and Artifice offers an exciting excursion into the relationship between ancient history and archaeology and reveals the possibilities and limitations of using archaeological evidence in writing about the past. Jonathan M. Hall employs a series of well-known cases to investigate how historians may ignore or minimize material evidence that contributes to our knowledge of antiquity unless it correlates with information gleaned from texts. Dismantling the myth that archaeological evidence cannot impart information on its own, he illuminates the methodological and political principles at stake in using such evidence and describes how the disciplines of history and classical archaeology may be enlisted to work together. He also provides a brief sketch of how the discipline of classical archaeology evolved and considers its present and future role in historical approaches to antiquity. Written in clear prose and packed with maps, photos, and drawings, Artifact and Artifice will be an essential book for undergraduates in the humanities.

Download or read book A Handbook of Greek Archaeology written by Harold North Fowler and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-24 with total page 563 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Handbook of Greek Archaeology This manual is intended primarily for the use of students who expect to pursue the study of Greek Archaeology seriously, but it may also be of use to those who desire only a general knowledge of the subject. Neither the serious student at the beginning of his course of study nor the general reader should be disturbed by a discussion of conflicting theories. Matters concerning which some degree of certainty has not been attained have, therefore, been in great measure omitted. The attempt has been made to avoid a very detailed treatment of the subject matter, though in the discussion of technical processes, especially those of architecture, it was necessary to include a good many details, chiefly because a knowledge of them is needful to the student and is not easily accessible. Few entire categories of works of art have (like the carvings in ivory) been completely omitted, though some (e. g. terracotta reliefs) have been treated very briefly, since the size of the book was limited. In the chapter on Vases, footnotes have been used more freely than elsewhere, owing to the fact that the material for illustration and detailed study is scattered and not always easily found. The chapter on Architecture is the work of Mr. Gorham Phillips Stevens, formerly for two years Fellow in Architecture at the American School of Classical Studies at Athens, on the grant of the Carnegie Institution. Its historical and descriptive parts are based largely on portions of Borrmann's Die Baukunst des Altertums und des Islam im Mittelalter, and the chapter has been revised by Mr. Fowler. The chapters on Vases and Painting are by Mr. Wheeler, and he has supervised the preparation of the illustrations.

Download or read book Historia Numorum written by Barclay Vincent Head and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-26 with total page 896 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historia Numorum: A Manual of Greek Numismatics IN few departments of historical research has more advance been made Within the last half-century than in Greek Numismatics. And in none perhaps is it more difficult for the student to gain access to the papers, scattered up and down the pages of the publications of learned societies, which deal With the subject. The time is fast approaching when Greek Archaeology and Numismatics will take their due place, too long denied them, in the curriculum of study at our English and American Universities. It has therefore become incumbent upon the few Who in this and other countries hold the key of knowledge, to pause for an interval to take stock of their possessions. To count their gains and arrange and classify the mass of new material which has been accumu lated in years of patient enquiry, to eliminate the ore from the dross. Of Which there is no small quantity, and to piece together for the bement of younger students the scattered fragments of truth Which their predeces sors and contemporaries have been at the pains of collecting.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Manual of Greek Archæology Modern culture owes to the civilisation of the ancient Greeks a profound debt, which is at once direct and indirect. The direct debt has arisen principally from the place long held by Greek studies in our system of education. The indirect debt, which is more subtle and less easily recognised, is that of many forces, inspirations, and models, in art, literature, and science, that have been transmitted to us from a remote past, through various peoples and through diverse civilisations. In our schools, and to a certain extent still in our colleges and universities, we understand by Greek studies almost exclusively the study of the language and literature of the ancient Hellenes. But the Hellenic spirit - and it is this only that gives life to these studies - has revealed itself in a novel and distinctly different manner, and with equal if not with greater vividness, delicacy, and force, in the manifold remains of Greek art, from the rudest specimens of the potter's industry, up to the glorious monuments due to the genius of the sculptor and architect in the service of religion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Discovery in Greek Lands: A Sketch of the Principal Excavations and Discoveries of the Last Fifty Years This little book was originally written for the Cambridge Manuals of Science and Literature, and is confined to the limits of space allowed in that series. Its aim is to give the general reader some idea of the additions made by the excavations of the past fifty years to our knowledge of Ancient Greece. The specialist in Archaeology will naturally look elsewhere for his information, but it is hoped that this slight sketch may be of interest to those who are not specialists in the subject, but would like to know something of the progress of discovery in Greece and Greek lands.

Download or read book The Classical Archaeology of Greece written by Michael Shanks and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-09-02 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Archaeologists do not discover the past but take the fragmentary remains which they recover and make something of them. Archaeology is a process of detection and supposition; this is what makes it so fascinating. However, the interpretations of archaeologists differ and change over time. They depend upon the amount of evidence available, the ideas and preconceptions of the archaeologist and their interests and aims. Michael Shanks's enlivening work is a guide to the discipline of classical archaeology and its objects. It assesses archaeology as a means of reconstructing ancient Greek society using the latest approaches of social archaeology. In addition, The Classical Archaeology of Greece outlines the history of the discipline and discusses why Classical Greece continues to fascinate us and why it has had such an impact on European civilization and identity.
Download or read book Archaeology and the Emergence of Greece written by Anthony M. Snodgrass and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book brings together twenty-five papers by A. M. Snodgrass, some of them previously published only in rather inaccessible places, which have contributed to this change. They cover four decades of work on pre-Classical and Classical Greece and some adjacent fields of scholarship, beginning in the 1960s when Classical archaeology was not widely seen as a free-standing subject. They chart the progress of a movement for the intellectual independence of Greek archaeology and art, from history and textual studies and for recognition among other branches of archaeology."--BOOK JACKET.
