Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Exploring parallels between the careers of Lt-General Pitt Rivers and Verne's Captain Nemo, the essay is concerned with time and disciplinary flagships. It considers how their respective collection activities propelled their very personal projects of science and, in the case of the General, its interrelationship with the institutionalisation of archaeology in the later-nineteenth century. In particular, the implications of his renowned excavation medallion are discussed and compared to a celebrated time capsule of the period; it being argued that `deep time' consciousness itself engendered notions of futuristic projection. | ||
