دانلود کتاب Archaeology and History in Roman, Medieval and Post-Medieval Greece: Studies on Method and Meaning in Honor of Timothy E. Gregory

The essays in "Archaeology and History in Medieval and Post-Medieval Greece" honor the contributions of Timothy E. Gregory by providing a broad perspective on the study of Greece after the end of Antiquity. The essays in this volume highlight the wide influence of Gregory's intellectual travels by bringing together anthropologists, art historians, archaeologists, historians, and philologists who reflect the influence of his thought and interests. In doing so, this volume juxtaposes studies of archaeological method and analysis and conceives of historical interpretation as a product of methodological self-awareness.The papers here demonstrate how analysis informed by multiple disciplines sheds new light on such venerable topics as the end of Antiquity, the so-called Byzantine Dark Ages, the contours of the emerging Byzantine civilization, as well as the complex character of identity in post-Medieval Greece. More broadly, this volume shows how the study of the material culture of Medieval and Post-Medieval Greece has made significant contributions to both the larger archaeological and historical discourse.The essays in this volume are organized under three headings: Archaeology and Method, the Archaeology of Identity, and the Changing Landscape, which highlight three main focuses of Gregory's research. Each essay interlaces new analyses with the contributions Gregory has made to our understanding of Medieval and Post-Medieval Greece. Read together these essays present not only new research in the field but also put on display the wide panorama of methods and questions developed of interest to scholars today.
