For Russian modernists in search of a past, there were many
antiquities of different provenances and varying degrees of
prestige from which to choose: Greece or Rome; Byzantium or Egypt.
The modernists central to Our Native Antiquity located their
antiquity in the Eurasian steppes, where they found objects and
sites long denigrated as archaeological curiosities. The book
follows the exemplary careers of two objects - the so-called "Stone
Women" and the kurgan, or burial mound - and the attention paid to
them by Russian and Soviet archaeologists, writers, artists, and
filmmakers, for whom these artifacts served as resources for
modernist art and letters and as arenas for a contest between vying
conceptions of Russian art, culture, and history.
