Description
"An Archaeology of Images presents a new interpretation of the ways images worked within ancient European societies, in the period from 600 BC to AD 400." "Using archaeology and social anthropology, the author investigates the various meanings with which images may have been imbued, and seeks to undermine the usual interpretation of statues, reliefs and figurines as passive things to be looked at or worshipped. It is clear that the deposition of images in temples or graves may not have been the only meaningful episode of their biographies; one image may have undergone a number of life experiences during its existence in society."--Jacket.
