Greek Colonists and Native Populations: Proceedings of the First Australian Congress of Classical Archaeology Held in Honour of Emeritus Professor A.D. Trendall, Sydney, 9-14 July 1985Jean-Paul Descœudres The Greek colonization movement of the Early Iron Age, which in many ways heralded the expansion of Western civilization all over the world, has always exerted a special fascination for those interested in ancient cultures. This collection of essays by scholars from fifteen countries examines the interrelation between colonizers and the colonized, and the process that led ancient Greek colonies to the emergence of new cultural forms and concepts. Stressing the ways archaeology contributes to our understanding of colonization movements, both in ancient and modern times, the book also presents some fascinating comparative material on Australia's own colonization experience since 1788. |
