by Reedstilt

Previous Weeks

This weekly feature is a place to discuss new developments in fields of history and archaeology. This can be newly discovered documents and archaeological sites, recent publications, documents that have just become publicly available through digitization or the opening of archives, and new theories and interpretations.

So, what's new this week?

In recent years a shift has been happening in Ancient history towards studying the past through the lens of psychology rather than sociology (largely stimulated by the works of Ankersmit and Runia on personal experience).

Well this week a further book on this area was published Sanders' Envy and jealousy in classical Athens: a socio-psychological approach.
