an ethnography of Dutch archaeological research projects abroad

2012 || Paperback || Sjoerd van der Linde || Leiden University Press

Over the last few decades, western archaeology increasingly abandoned its 'ivory tower' in order to investigate, negotiate and develop its position and role in global society.

Archival Sources relating to the U.S.-Dutch Negotiations, 1860-1866
