Time, Tradition and Society in Greek Archaeology is an innovative volume which examines the relevance of archaeological theory to Classical archaeology. It offers a wide ranging overview of Classical archaeology, from the Bronze Age to the Classical period and from Mainland Greece to Cyprus. Within this framework it examines many of the issues which have become important in the study of archaeology in recent years - time, the 'past', gender, ideology, social structure and group identity. The papers in this collection cover such diverse topics as funerary architecture, Classical art and scientific methodologies.
Over the last century the study of classical archaeology has tended to be very traditional. By examining it in the light of current theoretical archaeology and anthropology, classical archaeology is made more relevant and valuable to the study of archaeology in the 1990s.
