Title: The politics of archaeology and identity in a global context
Description: "The Politics of Archaeology and Identity demonstrates that the interpretation of archaeological data is greatly dependent on who is doing the analysis and for what reasons, be they political, personal, academic, or economic ones. The eight essays in this collection, with their variety of approaches and diverse geographical scope, including Albania, Central and North America, Egypt, Greece, Israel, Italy, Japan, and Turkey, contribute to the ongoing discussion of archaeology and the construction of identity, and how modern archaeology can aid humanity in the search for its past and present identities."--Jacket.
