The monuments of ancient Athens and Attica give eloquent testimony
to the enduring legacy of Greek civilization. In this book, a
leading authority on the archaeology of this area presents a survey
of the monuments, first chronologically and then site by site,
creating the definitive work on the subject. John M. Camp begins
with a comprehensive narrative history of the monuments from the
earliest times to the sixth century A.D. Drawing on literary and
epigraphic evidence, including Plutarch's biographies, Pausanias's
guidebook, and thousands of inscriptions, he discusses who built a
given structure, when, and why. Camp presents dozens of passages in
translation, allowing the reader easy access to the variety and
richness of the ancient sources. In effect, this main part of the
book provides an engrossing history of ancient Athens as recorded
in its archaeological remains. The second section of the book
offers in-depth discussions of individual sites in their physical
context, including accounts of excavations in the mode era.
Written in a clear and engaging style and lavishly illustrated,
Camp's archaeological tour of Athens is certain to appeal not only
to scholars and students but also to visitors to the area.

Until recently, the dictates of Biblical Archaeology led to a narrow set of questions that ignored issues such as gender, status and production within the household. The present volume,...
