Purchase options and add-ons

William R. Biers wrote The Archaeology of Greece to introduce students, teachers, and lay readers to the delights of exploring the world of ancient Greece. The great popularity of the first edition testifies to his success. In his preface to the second edition, Biers points out that, while the field of Greek archaeology may seem conservative and slow-moving, it has undergone major changes, especially in regard to work on the Bronze Age. The second edition brings information on all areas up to date, reflecting the most recent research, and it includes cross references to Perseus II, the interactive electronic data base on Archaic and Classical Greece. This edition includes new illustrations, some of recent finds, some of improved plans, and others added to enhance an explanation or to illustrate a point.

Product description

Review

''Biers' book is an excellent and comprehensive introduction to the subject; this new edition retains its original virtues of reliability, clarity and readability, and adds to its already generous quota of illustrations. It should continue to be a standard textbook for years to come.''-Ruth Westgate, Classical Bulletin (Vol. 79. No. 2, 2003)

About the Author

William R. Biers is Professor in the Department of Art History and Archaeology at the University of Missouri, Columbia.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Boring title but great content

    Great photos and easy to read content; I highly recommend this book for amateur archaeology buffs, and even those interested in the history of ancient Greece.

    3.0 out of 5 stars outdated
    Reviewed in Germany on 4 February 2015

    this edition I'm afraid is outdated, it is still used by universities as a standard work, which I'm sure it still is or could be
    but many facts and ideas published have since 1996 been proved wrong or have acquired a very different consensus in the academic world

    also, a book with very few colored images and many low quality black and white ones, for this day and age, and for the importance of getting a good idea of the objects mentioned is no longer acceptable

    Each period of Greek art is wonderfully explained in this text. It has great illustrations of the layouts of cities, too.
