This book explores how art and material culture were used to
construct age, gender and social identity in the Greek Early Iron
Age, 1100-700 BCE. Coming between the collapse of the Bronze Age
palaces and the creation of Archaic city-states, these four
centuries witnessed fundamental cultural developments and political
realignments. Whereas previous archaeological research has
emphasized class-based aspects of change, this study offers a more
comprehensive view of early Greece by recognizing the place of
children and women in a warrior-focused society. Combining
iconographic analysis, gender theory, mortuary analysis,
typological study and object biography, Susan Langdon explores how
early figural art was used to mediate critical stages in the
life-course of men and women. She shows how an understanding of the
artistic and material contexts of social change clarifies the
emergence of distinctive gender and class asymmetries that laid the
basis for classical Greek society.
