A concise illustrated study of the material culture produced between 600 and 300 BC in Greece and in the lands with which Greeks came into contact. The first edition was published in 1991 and examined earlier research; this new edition concentrates on the research carried out over the past twenty years during which new discoveries have been made and old interpretations queried or overturned. It is organised chronologically in terms of media (free-standing sculpture; architectural sculpture; luxury items; ceramics) and will be particularly useful to students and teachers at all levels. The volume is indexed with a bibliography intended as a guide to further reading for specialists. (Quotes from original text)
