Full Description
Historians' usual source material is the written word, but this volume shows just how illuminating the study of artefacts, and related documentary material can be for the historian. Ranging from the use of clothing as votive offerings in ancient Greece to the function of reproductive technology in the 20th century, this volume is dismissive of traditional chronologies and disciplinary boundaries.
