Abstract
Sir John Beazley (1885-1970), founder of the modern and archaeological
study of Classical vases, was a master of method. Is the Beazley meth
od just that, a well-judged method fitting to the material under study
? Or does that considered method in truth amount to a considered theor
y, held and used by a consciously most untheoretical archaeologist?.
