The Discovery of the Greek Bronze Age by J Lesley Fitton
To trace the progression from a blank to a complex picture this book begins with the towering achievements of individuals such as Heinrich Schliemann and Arthur Evans, whose dramatic discoveries made them household names. The author then charts the consolidation and often controversial reinterpretation of their finds by succeeding generations, thereby raising fascinating questions about how archaeological knowledge is acquired and how our changing assumptions and attitudes shape our view of the ancient past.
J. Lesley Fitton is an Assistant Keeper in the Department of Greek & Roman Antiquities in The British Museum, where she specializes in the Greek Bronze Age. She is the author of Cycladic Art, Heinrich Schliemann and The British Museum and the forthcoming Minoans.
