سردر Muses باستان: باستان شناسی و هنر Ancient Muses: Archaeology and the Arts

The book is an interesting experiment focusing on the way that archaeology and the various arts have cross-pollinated each other. 19 essays from different authors all over the world cover the ways archaeology has been integral to writing fiction and plays, movies, painting, music, sculpture, indigenous peoples arts, and the Internet, as well as public education. A CD is included with images and short movies.
