Please read ALL of the short essays from Archaeology, Vol. 52, No. 4, (July/Aug 1999) grouped under the title Behind the Mask of Agamemnon and then respond to each of these questions:
- How does each of the different specialists determine the authenticity of the golden funeral mask that is the subject of this investigation?
- Are their approaches similar or different in focus and/or methodology?
- Do you believe that a particular specialist is best qualified to make the definitive judgment of authenticity or do you think that it requires a multi-disciplined approach?
- Whose analysis is the most convincing? (You MUST answer this question to receive full credit; no dodging it by saying you aren't an expert. I am not an expert in this field either but through the application of critical thinking skills - I can make a persuasive argument about the merits or weaknesses of these scholarly essays. And so can you!)
