Review
"William Biers' book, originally published in 1980, will surely be familiar to any reader who teaches Classical archaeology at advanced high school or undergraduate level, and no doubt to many general readers too. A revised edition in 1987 incorporated a few references to new finds and additions to reading lists, but this fully updated second edition has allowed Biers to add more substantial discussions of new material and to update the reading lists more comprehensively. . . . In short, Biers' book is an excellent and comprehensive introduction to the subject; this new edition retains its original virtues of reliability, clarity and readability, and adds to its already generous quota of illustrations. It should continue to be a standard textbook for years to come."-Ruth Westgate, Cardiff University, The Classical Bulletin Vol 79 No 2, 2003
"William Biers' first edition of this book served well a generation of scholars and lay people alike as a standard introduction. A second edition of this valuable work is, therefore, most welcomed. . . . The Archaeology of Greece is the best general introduction to the subject. Biers' command of the subject, his engaging writing style, and the wealth of illustrations make this work in its second edition a joy to read and use."-Thomas V. Brisco. Southwestern Journal of Theology, Fall 2001
