'The volume makes a substantial contribution by foregrounding the cultural biographies of objects as a research framework. It shows how this approach reveals hidden or marginalised histories and enriches our understanding of archaeological and museum artefacts.' Professor Dimitris Plantzos, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens 'This volume makes an outstanding and significant contribution to several fields: archaeology, history of art, reception studies, and museum studies. The ways the individual authors and contributions engage with object biography, history of collections and museum ethics is bound to be of interest to many readers.' Professor Tyler Jo Smith, University of Virginia 'The book will be a very significant contribution in the field. The various chapters present hitherto unknown stories or aspects of the lives of the objects presented, while the analysis of each object (or group of objects) using the framework of object biography is sensitive and timely.' Assistant Professor Olympia Bobou, Aarhus University
