{"product_id":"butrint-4","title":"Butrint 4","description":"This richly illustrated volume discusses the histories of the  port city of Butrint, and its intimate connection to the wider  conditions of the Adriatic. In so doing it is a reading, and  re-reading, of the site that adds significantly to the study of  Mediterranean urban history over the  longue durée . Firstly, the book proposes a new paradigm for the development-history of  Butrint - based on discussions of the latest archaeological,  historical and landscape studies from approximately 20 new  excavations and surveys, together covering a temporal arch from  prehistory to the early modern period. Secondly, it examines how  the perception of the city influenced the archaeological  methodology of 20th-century studies of the site, where iteration  and reversal were often being applied in equal measure. In this  it asks important questions on the management of heritage sites  and the contemporary role of archaeological practise.\nInge Lyse Hansen is Adjunct Professor of Art History at John  Cabot University and specialises in the visual and material  culture of the Roman world. She has published on portraiture,  funerary art and the use of role models and patronage and has  edited several archaeological volumes. Richard Hodges is  Scientific Director of the Butrint Foundation, a leading medieval  archaeologist and the author of more than 20 books. Sarah Leppard has led or  participated in more than 15 excavations in eight countries and has managed  major excavations at Butrint.","brand":"Oxbow Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Product","offer_id":54251958010200,"sku":"9781842174623","price":67.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781842174623__6773743c6d36f.jpg?v=1741160872","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/butrint-4","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
