Material Hermeneutics explores the ways that new imaging technologies and scientific instruments have changed our notions about ancient history.

Written by a leading philosopher of technology and utilizing an interdisciplinary approach, this book has implications for many fields, including philosophy, history, science, and technology. It will appeal to scholars and students of the humanities, as well as anthropologists and archaeologists.
