Byron Hamann, Irina Podgorny, and Felipe Rojas - Fake New World: Skulls, Fossils, Frauds and the Archaeological Imagination

Rhode Island Hall, Room 108

Byron Hamann (The Ohio State University), Irina Podgorny (CONICET and Maria Elena Cassiet Fellow at the John Carter Brown Library), and Felipe Rojas (Joukowsky Institute for Archaeology) examine how archaeological artifacts rightly and wrongly labeled "fake" are part of the production of knowledge about the past in the Americas. Short presentations will be followed by open discussion.
