Soft cover. Condizione: New. iv, 112 pages : illustrations, maps, charts ; 30 cm. This volume is a highly original compilation of 12 papers that seeks to relate archaeology to the outside world, in an inclusive, rather than exclusive sense. It asks certain questions, for instance: how is archaeology perceived outside of itself as a discipline? How does archaeology mould daily life, for others and ourselves? But perhaps what finally emerges from this collection of papers is the way they address the imagination, especially the poetic imagination. The contributions include part of a new work by major poet, Jon Stallworthy, who explains the background to the poem Skyhorse; Christine Finn writes of Jacquetta Hawkes and her life outside archaeology; Sarah Shaw explores time travel in two stories of reanimation by Mary Shelley.…

Soft cover. Condizione: New. iv, 230 pages : illustrations (some colour), maps ; 30 cm. This volume comprises a collection of essays in memory of the late John Rhodes by some of his many friends and colleagues. They salute a remarkable individual of wide tastes and interests. His achievements in the conservation, study and recording of the past from the Roman period to the present day, both in museums and in the field, were prodigious. The aim of the book is to follow the tradition of English antiquarian scholarshA by taking three approaches: the study of individual monuments and objects, the investigation of the manner in which that study is reflected in their present-day care and interpretation, and the study of the wider implications of such approaches. 'Memorial volumes can be a bit hit and miss, but this one is all hits, partly because the papers are all iconoclastic in one way or another, offering an alternative view or a dissenting voice, which one senses is what John did in his own life to very good effect.'
