Description
This book is one in a series established by Oxford University Press in conjunction with the Humanities Research Centre (HBC) of the Australian National University, Canberra. The Greek colonization movement of the Early Iron Age, which in so many ways heralds the expansion of Western civilization all over the world, has always exerted a special fascination on anyone interested in ancient cultures - scholars and laymen alike. Especially since the 1960s, when terms such as "colonialism", "imperialism" and "de-colonization" became part of our daily vocabulary, general interest in the phenomenon of ancient colonization has continued to grow. This is clearly reflected in the number of international conferences dealing with various aspects of Greek colonization in the last 20 years. What distinguished the first Australian congress of classical archaeology from these earlier scholarly meetings was the special frame of reference it was given from the outset.
The interrelation between colonizers and the colonized and the process that in the Ancient Greek colonies led to the emergence of new cultural forms and concepts were here discussed against the background provided by Australia's own experience since 1788. Leading scholars from 15 countries explored the ways in which archaeology contributes to our understanding of colonization movements, both ancient and modern. With a few exceptions all 50 papers presented in Sydney have been included in the proceedings. Those that were read in French, German or Italian have been translated into English. A number of them now provide the English reader with access to research fields in which all available publications are in languages other than English.
