Classical archaeology probably enjoys a wider appeal than any other branch of classical or archaeological studies. As an intellectual and academic discipline, however, its esteem has not matched its popularity. Here, Anthony Snodgrass argues that classical archaeology has a rare potential in the whole field of the study of the past to make innovative discoveries and apply modern approaches by widening the aims of the discipline.
"Snodgrass's overarching view of the discipline is exemplary. He forcefully argues that classical archaeology can gain a great deal from greater involvement in the theory and methods of archaeology in other disciplines."—David B. Small, Classical World

"A persuasive volume which it must be hoped will be read and appreciated by all those working in classical studies."—Keith Branigan, Journal of Classical Studies

"This small, attractive book . . . shines with unusual information and fresh insight."—Tjeerd H. Van Andel, American Historical Review
Anthony M. Snodgrass is Lawrence Professor of Classical Archaeology at Cambridge University.
