Ancient Monuments and Modern Identities sets out to examine the
role of archaeology in the creation of ethnic, national and social
identities in 19th and 20th century Greece. The essays included in
this volume examine the development of interpretative and
methodological principles guiding the recovery, protection and
interpretation of material remains and their presentation to the
public. The role of archaeology is examined alongside prevailing
perceptions of the past, and is thereby situated in its political
and ideological context. The book is organized chronologically and
follows the changing attitudes to the past during the formation,
expansion and consolidation of the Modern Greek State. The aim of
this volume is to examine the premises of the archaeological
discipline, and to apply reflection and critique to contemporary
archaeological theory and practice. The past, however, is not a
domain exclusive to archaeologists. The contributors to this volume
include prehistoric and classical archaeologists, but also modern
historians, museum specialists, architectural historians,
anthropologists, and legal scholars who have all been invited to
discuss the impact of the material traces of the past on the Modern
Greek social imaginary.
