Abstract: |
Study addressing the relationship between state-managed archaeology and control of the past, with particular attention to the association of administration and identity as manifest in the nation-state. The author argues that the management of archaeology underwater is implicated in the reproduction of two fundamental aspects of the nation-state -- territoriality and nationality -- by virtue of the frequent location of ancient material underwater on the fringes of territory, and of the inter-`national' character of ancient material of maritime origin. Empirical material is drawn from a comparative analysis of managing archaeology underwater in France, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands, the UK and Ireland and from a historical analysis of the development of management in the UK from the mid-1960s to the mid-1970s. The theoretical basis is drawn from Anthony Giddens' work on modernity, structuration and locale. |
