Abstract: |
Art is frequently a core product in archaeological investigations, yet when examining art, archaeologists have in the past needed to rely for guidance on the art historian's approach to art as there has been no comprehensive archaeological guide to aid understanding and analysis. This book sets out the main concerns of an archaeological approach to art. The author briefly reviews the history of archaeological interest in art, and examines, defines & exemplifies contemporary approaches while providing a focus for the future of the subject. |
