Inauthentic Archaeologies
Archaeology has an impact on the public far beyond what any archaeologist would imagine. This book examines hoaxes, fanciful re-creations, artistic representations, commercial enterprises, and discredited replicas of the past. It helps understand how the past becomes social currency for both professional archaeologists and the public at large.
