This book introduces the history and archaeology of ancient Athens in the period from 800-500 BCE. Following the standard arrangement of the emOxford History of the Archaic Greek Worldem series, author Robin Osborne deals successively with the sources environmental setting material culture settlement pattern, burial customs, ceramic production political, legal, and diplomatic history economy and demography social and religious customs and cultural history including history of sculpture of archaic Athens. He provides not only a full and up-to-date guide to all these various aspects of Athenian history and archaeology, but also an integrated history which shows how all the different aspects intersect. Osborne guides the reader through an exciting story of the way in which the territory of Attica was re-occupied after the collapse of Bronze Age civilization, how Athens emerged as the dominant settlement, how the claims of family, place, and wealth were played out against one another, and how the Athenians came to place themselves both in relation to the wider Greek world and in relation to the gods. pThe account is illustrated with abundant maps and halftone images that bring the world of Athens to life. The political and cultural achievements of classical Athens democracy, tragedy, the Parthenon and its sculpture rested upon the foundations created in the archaic period, but Osborne shows that archaic Athens did not merely provide foundations for what came later but offered a fascinating history and culture of its own.
