The absence of a specialized bilingual dictionary (or glossary) of
terminology which would facilitate the work of both scholars and
students of archaeology (and, to a lesser degree, history) has long
been noted. Several dictionaries or compact encyclopaedias of
archaeological terms have been published in both Greek and English
since the 19th century (some of the latter have been translated in
Greek as well). All of them however have been written in one of
those languages, explaining (quite often with useful images) each
term but not providing its equivalent in the other language. It is
hoped that the present work will cover this lacuna in international
bibliography. An adequate knowledge of English is essential to
anyone professionally involved with classical archaeology and/or
Greek prehistory, since English has become undoubtedly the lingua
franca of our time. The dominance of the German and French
"schools" in this field has given its place to Anglophone
(principally British and American) studies since the Second World
War and English-language bibliography is indispensable to any
researcher of any topic relating to the archaeology of Greek lands.
The present dictionary is intended to be a tool both for students
and scholars or professional archaeologists studying, reading and
publishing in both Greek and English.
