Guide to Research in Classical Art and Mythology
Learning to use the research tools to unravel the intricate terminology of classification of antiquities is a formidable task. Van Keuren's work aims to enable students both to use these tools and to devise projects for their own research.

These patterns will allow students to formulate hypotheses to undertake original research. With use of the library collection, original questions can be asked and answered.
