520 _aThrough little-known histories of the practice, governance and scholarship of the archaeology of India, Artefacts of History examines the manner in which the past is recalled and historicized. It encourages a focus upon issues of historiography, methodology, and notions of evidence and regards the ways in which ideologies of cultural heritage and civilizational legacies are transformed into tangible and visible things through archaeological scholarship. This second edition, with a Preface and a new note about ‘Nineveh in Bombay’, re-presents the importance of seeing the diverse linkages that constitute archaeology’s histories. The new addition augments the book’s thrust to regard histories of collecting and curating, and addresses issues of ethics and responsibilities within the academic scholarship of archaeology.
