| Description: |
This book combats the marginalisation of art in archaeological enquiry placing it firmly in the mainstream and recognizing its crucial role in our understanding of the past in the present. |
| Synopsis: |
Art is a subject that all archaeologists have to contend with, whether they like it or not. Rock art, mosaics, ceramics and classical sculptures are frequently a core product in archaeological investigations yet, when examining this art the archaeologist must rely for guidance on the art historian's approach to art. Until now there has been no comprehensive archaeological guide to aid them in their understanding and analysis of the art they encounter. Thomas Dowson uses his teaching experience to crucially redress this imbalance. The Archaeology of Art sets out for the first time the main concerns of an archaeological approach to art. The author briefly reviews the history of archaeological interest in art, examines, defines & exemplifies contemporary approaches while providing a focus for the future of the subject. |
