Description

Explore how the past is used by society in Inauthentic Archaeologies by Troy Lovata. This book examines the significant impact archaeology has on the public sphere, going far beyond traditional academic research. Lovata provides a student-friendly look at how the past is appropriated through various means, including outright hoaxes, fanciful re-creations, and artistic representations. Readers will learn about the commercial enterprises and discredited replicas that shape our perception of history. By looking at examples from around the world and across different time periods, this text helps explain how the past functions as social currency for both professional archaeologists and the general public. It addresses fundamental questions regarding authenticity and the ownership of history, making it an essential read for anyone interested in the social sciences and the way we interact with our heritage.
