Classical Archaeology of Greece: Experiences of the Discipline (The Experience of Archaeology) - Hardcover
Synopsis
Archaeologists do not discover the past but take the fragmentary remains which they recover and make something of them. Archaeology is a process of detection and supposition; this is what makes it so fascinating. However, the interpretations of archaeologists differ and change over time. They depend upon the amount of evidence available, the ideas and preconceptions of the archaeologist and their interests and aims.
Michael Shanks's enlivening work is a guide to the discipline of classical archaeology and its objects. It assesses archaeology as a means of reconstructing ancient Greek society using the latest approaches of social archaeology. In addition, The Classical Archaeology of Greece outlines the history of the discipline and discusses why Classical Greece continues to fascinate us and why it has had such an impact on European civilization and identity.

Review
He insistently uses the passive voice. The is presumably part of a deliberate attempt to renounce the certainties of the master-narratives that dominate archaeological writing and to open up the book as part of a dialogue rather than trying to make it an authoritative statement. If so, he was successful: the book is always thought-provoking and seems to sure to begin new arguments rather than to close down old ones. Journal of Field Archaeology, Ian Morris, Volume 26, 1999 His main focus is the perception of classical Greece in the eyes of archaeologists and the contributions of social archaeology to the reconstruction of ancient Greek society. In this, he has outstandingly succeeded!.
–The Journal of Indo-European Studies
