Description
Book SynopsisA nuanced study of conflicts over possession of Aboriginal artifacts.
Trade Review"Collections and Objections transcends geographic, scholarly, and temporal borders. Not only is it a study of Ontario, but it also touches on subjects pertinent to other cases across North America. Similarly it is not just a study of material culture, but also a narrative inspired by the complementary fields of history, archaeology, anthropology, and Aboriginal studies. (...) It is sure to be a welcome addition to many researchers' bookshelves." H-Canada "[Collections and Objections] banishes the notion that the history of archaeology is dry, dusty, and boring and has little relevance to the present. Archaeologists and Aboriginal people involved in the creation of an archaeological tradition in Ontario come to life on the pages...The book is incredibly well written and difficult to put down, a rare find in the scholarly literature about archaeology. It should be required reading for every archaeologist in Ontario and anyone interested in the historical development of the current relationship between Aboriginal peoples and archaeologists." Gary Warick, Wilfrid Laurier University, Canadian Journal of Archaeology
