His work through the years is characterised by a remarkable breadth, both chronologically and geographically. To mark Riis's 90th birthday, more than a dozen of his colleagues, collaborators and students have contributed essays on topics that range from Syria to Carthage and Campania, and from Islamic architecture to dactyliothecas and Peruvian pots. Clearly written and generously illustrated, Between Orient and Occident not only reflects the range of Riis's own interests, but also presents the archaeologist with a generous sampling of the international research being conducted today by the Danish National Museum. |
