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 Roman, Medieval and Post-Medieval Greece honor the contributions of Timothy E.

Gregory to our understanding of Greece from the Roman period to modern times.

Evoking Gregory's diverse interests, the volume brings together anthropologists, art historians, archaeologists, historians, and philologists to address such contested topics as the end of Antiquity, the so-called Byzantine Dark Ages, the contours of the emerging Byzantine civilization, and identity in post-Medieval Greece.

These papers demonstrate the continued vitality of both traditional and innovative approaches to the study of material culture and emphasise that historical interpretation should be the product of methodological self-awareness.

In particular, this volume shows how the study of the material culture of post-Classical Greece over the last 30 years has made significant contributions to both the larger archaeological and historical discourse.
