| Abstract |
"The present volume shows the archaeological thinking as a form of art, revealing the poetics of the archaeological imagination. It shows that, in their work, archaeologists, without being inspired by contemporary artists, use creative methods, and their analysis of the art of the past goes beyond the material culture of the art objects, into the realm of the mental processes of creation."--Back cover |
