NEW STUDIES IN ARCHAEOLOGY
Art and the Early Greek State
An Interpretive Archaeology
Widely known as an innovative figure in contemporary archaeology, Michael Shanks has
written a challenging contribution to recent debates on the emergence of the Greek city states
in the first millennium BC. He interprets the art and archaeological remains of Korinth to elicit
connections between new urban environments, foreign trade, warfare and the ideology of male
sovereignty. Adopting an interdisciplinary perspective, which draws on an anthropologically
informed archaeology, ancient history, art history, material culture studies and structural
approaches to the classics, his book raises significant questions about the links between design
and manufacture, political and social structure, and culture and ideology in the ancient Greek
world.
MICHAEL SHANKS is Professor of Classics at Stanford University, and Associate Professor,
Institute of Archaeology, University. His publications include Reconstructing Archae-
< (1992), Social Theory and Archaeology (1987) and Classical Archaeology of Greece (1996).

Archaeology has made enormous advances recently, both in the volume of discoveries and in
its character as an intellectual discipline: new techniques have helped to further the range and
rigour of inquiry, and encouraged inter-munication.
The aim of this series is to make available to a wider audience the results of these
developments. The coverage is worldwide and extends from the earliest hunting and gathering
societies to historical archaeology.
For a list of titles in the series please see the end of the book.
