Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"This is a very fine book, based on rich and deep research. Germany's Ancient Pasts provides a useful synthesis and overview of the development of what Maner calls 'domestic' archaeology, a field that embraces prehistory (Vorgeschichte), proto-history (Fr hgeschichte), and also geology, ethnography, folklore studies, and physical anthropology. Detailing the wide variety of purposes domestic archaeology served in the period of its flourishing (roughly 1820-1914), Maner's book tells an important and nuanced story about why it is that Germans, like other Europeans, became so involved in the excavation, collection, and exhibition of artifacts in the years after Napoleon's demise."--Suzanne L. Marchand, Louisiana State University "author of "German Orientalism in the Age of Empire" and "Down from Olympus" "
