Greek Art and Archaeology

Greek Art and Archaeology, 2nd Edition, is a textbook that surveys the material culture and visual arts of the ancient Greek world. Written by Richard T. Neer, the volume situates monumental architecture, sculpture, and pottery within their historical and archaeological settings.

Coverage spans the early Bronze Age through the Mycenaean era, Geometric traditions, Archaic developments, and the Hellenistic period. The text explores shifting ceramic styles, temple architecture, civic monuments, and regional religious sanctuaries across Greek history.

Widely adopted in colleges and universities across the United States, the textbook includes dedicated case studies that focus on prominent sites, including the Panhellenic sanctuaries at Olympia and Delphi.
