The Art and Archeology of Ancient Greece is an introductory-level textbook for students with little or no background in ancient art.

Judith M. Barringer examines a variety of media, analyzing marble and bronze sculpture, public architecture, and vase painting, as well as coins, domestic architecture, mosaics, terracotta figurines and reliefs, jewelry, and wall painting. This book adopts an approach that considers objects and monuments within their cultural contexts. * More than 500 illustrations, with over 400 in color and 13 maps, including specially commissioned photographs, maps, plans, and reconstructions * Includes text boxes, chapter summaries and timelines, and detailed glossary * Looks at Greek art from perspectives of both art history and archaeology, giving students an understanding of the historical and everyday context of art objects

Suitable for students with no prior knowledge of ancient art, this book reviews the main objects and monuments of the ancient Greek world, emphasizing the context and function of these artefacts in their particular place and time. Students are led to a rich understanding of how objects were meant to be perceived, what messages they transmitted, and how the surrounding environment shaped their meaning. The book includes more than 500 illustrations (with over 400 in color), including specially commissioned photographs, maps, floorplans, and reconstructions. Judith Barringer examines a variety of media, including marble and bronze sculpture, public and domestic architecture, painted vases, coins, mosaics, terracotta figurines, reliefs, jewelry, armor, and wall paintings.

Acknowledgments

Many people have influenced this project and helped me in numerous ways, sometimes without knowing that they have been helpful. I began this project with my friend and colleague Eve DAmbra. Kara Hattersley-Smith and Lee Ripley-Greenfield encouraged us to write a textbook of Greek and Roman art. Our project eventually changed, and I proceeded on my own with a different aim and with Cambridge University Press, but that initial work with Eve our discussions, exchange of ideas, and of texts stimulated my thinking and have contributed to the focus of the present book. I am grateful to her for this and for our friendship, which means a great deal to me.

It is a pleasure to thank Iphigeneia Leventis and Jerry Rutter, who generously gave of their time to read and comment on portions of this text; I am especially grateful to the latter, who saved me from many mistakes about the Bronze Age material.

Discussions about the subject, as well as textbook presentation of the same, with Aileen Ajootian, Nancy Bookides, Leda Costaki, Sheila Dillon, Jeff Hurwit, Jenifer Neils, Jerry Pollitt, Carola Reinsberg, David Scahill, Andy Stewart, Marek We cowski, and Mark Wilson-Jones shaped and improved this text considerably. Nicola Nenci helped me to obtain materials, and the University of Edinburgh kindly supported me with finances for research, travel, and photographs. The staff of Cambridge University Press was helpful in obtaining photos and dealing with paperwork matters. Beatrice Rehl offered wise counsel, enthusiasm, and support from beginning to end. My thanks to them all.
