A. M. Snodgrass is Laurence Professor Emeritus of Classical Archaeology, University of Cambridge. His books include The Dark Age of Greece, Archaic Greece: The Age of Experiment, An Archaeology of Greece, and Homer and the Artists.

As one would expect from Snodgrass, the contributions are unfailingly lively and challenging, and the new comments are interesting. Although brief, and occasionally wryly humorous, they do contain some important thoughts and rebuttals.... The collection is convenient and well presented. One could give the whole to any aspiring graduate as a model of how to construct arguments.... It is in the construction of a wise and fundamentally humane archaeology that this book achieves more than simple convenience. It is the intellectual challengeThe exemplification of how to argue a case, to explain, and to remain open to new ideas and new discoveriesThat constitutes the value of this book.
