Author Description

"Material culture is the physical trace of what was used to construct and define identities in the past, and is therefore a key source of evidence for archaeologists and ancient historians investigating ancient identities. Using archaeological, iconographic and textual material as the basis of each exploration, the contributors seek to understand the intersectional nature of what it meant to be an individual or group within a recognised social identity in ancient Greece. Among other conclusions, the chapters investigate the experiences of identity - what the experience of having a particular identity was like, as far as we can ascertain - in ancient Greece, as represented by the archaeological material record"-- Provided by publisher.
