Description: Will combine shipping on books, magazines, comics, DVDs, and CDs! New Studies In Archaeology: Style & Society In Dark Age Greece: The changing face of a pre-literate society 1100-700 BC In this innovative study, James Whitley examines the relationship between the development of pot style, changes in mortuary practice, and social changes in the Dark Age of Greece (1 100-700 BC). He focuses on Athens, where the Protogeometric and Geometric styles (whose sequence is divided into five phases) first appeared. He considers pot shape and painted decoration primarily in relation to the other relevant features - metal artefacts, grave architecture, funerary rites, and the age and sex of the deceased - and also takes into account different contexts in which these shapes and decorations appear. A computer analysis of large quantities of data on grave assemblages supports his view that pot style is an integral part of the collective representations of early Athenian society. It is a lens through which we can focus on the changing social circumstances of Dark Age Greece. Dr Whitley's approach to the study of style challenges many of the assumptions which have underpinned more traditional studies of early Greek art.
