In recent years the intersections between art history and archaeology have become the focus of critical analysis by both disciplines. Contemporary sculpture has played a key role in this dialogue. The essays in this volume, by art historians, archaeologists and artists, take the intersection between sculpture and archaeology as the prelude for analysis, examining the metaphorical and conceptual role of archaeology as subject matter for sculptors, and the significance of sculpture as a three-dimensional medium for exploring historical attitudes to archaeology.

Paul Bonaventura is the Senior Research Fellow in Fine Art Studies at the Ruskin School of Drawing & Fine Art, University of Oxford. Andrew Jones is Reader in Prehistoric Archaeology at the University of Southampton.
