Description

Book Synopsis
Examining such nation-states as Iran, Iraq, Turkey, Israel, Russia, Ukraine, India, and Thailand, this book shows how states invoke the remote past to extol the glories of specific peoples or prove claims to ancestral homelands. It is suitable for archaeologists and historians.

Trade Review
"In this deeply intriguing and appealing book, expert contributors explore a wide and varied set of political, cultural, and ethical issues. Not only will this excellent collection be formative for the history and practice of archaeology for years to come, but it may also be hotly debated in the various regions it describes." - Suzanne Marchand, author of Down from Olympus"
