and societies in the eastern Mediterranean It also provides an up-to-date critical historiography of the field in its relationship to the growth of ancient art history archaeology and museology in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries giving a contemporary audience a clear appreciation of what has been at stake in the uncovering and reconstruction of this ancient society
