Description

An Archaeology of Images examines how ancient societies across Europe from 600 BC to AD 400 used visual artefacts to communicate meaning and power. Published by Routledge, this scholarly work combines archaeological evidence with social anthropology to challenge conventional interpretations of statues, reliefs and figurines as passive objects. Instead, the book presents compelling arguments that these images functioned as active artefacts designed for use, handling and ritual destruction. The study incorporates over 100 original line drawings and photographs to illustrate how Iron Age and Roman communities deployed visual culture strategically. By examining the placement, context and transformation of images across European societies, the author reveals the sophisticated ways ancient peoples embedded symbolic and social meanings into their material world. This comprehensive exploration bridges art history and archaeology to offer fresh insights into how images shaped identity, belief and social hierarchy in pre-medieval Europe.
