Specific case studies range temporally from the fourth millennium up to the Hellenistic period and geographically from Iran to the eastern Mediterranean. Contributions apply innovative theoretical and methodological approaches to archaeological evidence and critically examine the historiography of the discipline itself. Not intended to be comprehensive, the volume instead captures a cross-section of the field of Ancient Near Eastern art history as its stands in the second decade of the twenty-first century. The volume will be of value to scholars working in the Ancient Near East as well as others interested in newer art historical and anthropological approaches to visual culture. 606 $aArt, Ancient -- Middle East 606 $aArt, Middle Eastern 606 $aArt, Modern 606 $aArt, Middle Eastern$zMiddle East 606 $aArt, Ancient 606 $aVisual Arts$2HILCC 606 $aArt, Architecture & Applied Arts$2HILCC 606 $aVisual Arts - General$2HILCC 610 $aAncient Near Eastern art. 610 $aanthropology of art. 610 $aarchaeology. 610 $aart history. 615 4$aArt, Ancient -- Middle East. 615 4$aArt, Middle Eastern. 615 4$aArt, Modern. 615 0$aArt, Middle Eastern 615 0$aArt, Ancient 615 7$aVisual Arts 615 7$aArt, Architecture & Applied Arts 615 7$aVisual Arts - General 676 $a709.394 702 $aBrown$b Brian A., $4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aFeldman$b Marian H., $4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910811458403321 996 $aCritical approaches to ancient Near Eastern art$91322980 997 $aUNINA
