Objects in context, objects in use

de Luke Lavan

"This book promotes, the study of material spatiality in Late Antiquity: not just the study of buildings. but of the people, dress and objects used within them, drawing on all available source material. It seeks to explore the material world as it was lived in late antiquity, in an interpretative inquiry, rather than simply describing the evidence that has survived until today. The volume presents a series of comprehensive bibliographic essays which provide all overview of relevant literature, along with discussions of the nature of the sources, of relevant approaches and field methods."--BOOK JACKET.
