Archaeology and Ancient History by Eberhard W Sauer

Archaeology and Ancient History by Eberhard W Sauer

Challenging both traditional and fashionable theories, this collection of pieces from an international range of contributors explores the separation of the human past into history, archaeology and their related sub-disciplines. Each case study challenges the validity of this separation and asks how we can move to a more holistic approach in the study of the relationship between history and archaeology. While the focus is on the ancient world, particularly Greece and Rome, rhe lessons learnded in this book make it an essential addition to all studies of history and archaeology.

'This book will valuably feed numerous discussion classes,' - The Journal of Classics Teaching

'This book makes a powerful argument, by example, for close and genuine collaboration between scholars who are past-masters in their own fields, but with the humility to acknowledge that they can learn something from another quite different discipline' - BMCR

'For English or German scholars ... this book is a very good start for a more broadening view of their own academic discipline.' - www.PalArch.nl
