| Summary: | Nineteen contributions by eminent scholars cover topics in Greek epigraphy, ancient history, archaeology, and the historiography of archaeology. The section on epigraphy and ancient history has a particular focus on Attica, whereas material from Eretria, Delphi, the Argolid, Aetolia, Macedonia, Samothrace and Aphrodisias widens the picture. The section on archaeology discusses cultural variation as well as matters of cult, myth and style, especially in Attica, from the Chalcolithic to the Roman period. The final section on the history of archaeology reviews the early history of archaeological research at sites such as Piraeus, Rhamnous, Marathon, Oropos, Pylos and Eretria, based on unpublished archival sources as well as on preliminary sketches and architectural drawings by nineteenth century artists. |
