Archaeologies of the Greek Past: Landscape, Monuments, and Memories (W.B. Stanford Memorial Lectures)

Employing three case studies from the history of ancient Greece, this book explores how the evidence of landscape and monuments can reveal commemorative practices and collective amnesias in such societies.Susan E.
