Description
This tribute to Sara A. Immerwahr comprises a short biography, her full bibliography, and 20 articles written by fellow scholars celebrating her contributions to the field, as well as her encouragement and generous support of students and colleagues over many years. Thirteen scholars of Bronze Age archaeology present papers that address aspects of social, political, religious, and ritual significance in wall paintings, matters of chronology, regional trade and interaction, and Cretan architecture. Seven scholars of the Archaic, Classical, and Roman periods explore issues of sculpture, architecture, pottery, and dedications.
