This bold and illuminating study examines the role of archaeology
in the formation of the modern Japanese nation and explores the
processes by which archaeological practice is shaped by national
social and intellectual discourse. Leading Japanese archaeologist
Koji Mizoguchi argues that an understanding of the past has been a
central component in the creation of national identities and modern
nation states and that, since its emergence as a distinct academic
discipline in the modern era, archaeology has played an important
role in shaping that understanding. By examining in parallel the
uniquely intense process of modernisation experienced by Japan and
the history of Japanese archaeology, Mizoguchi explores the close
interrelationship between archaeology, society and modernity,
helping to explain why we do archaeology in the way that we do.
This book is essential reading for anybody with an interest in the
history of archaeology or modern Japan.
