Reviews

The Robert S. Peabody Museum, Phillips Academy, and its faculty, students, and affiliates have played important roles in the history of Americanist archaeology for a century. The excellent essays in this volume chronicle the fluctuating history of the institution as a museum, science center, and teaching institution. -Don D. Fowler, Mamie Kleberg Distinguished Professor of Anthropology at the University of Nevada, Reno, and past president of the Society for American Archaeology Behold, dear reader! You hold the rarest of literary creatures-an honest institutional historiography. This is a remarkable history of a history, a bold narrative that critically engages authentic sources and key particulars about the Robert S. Peabody Museum, synthesized as they should be, warts and all. -David Hurst Thomas, curator of anthropology at the American Museum of Natural History This is an excellent book on the history not only of one of the treasured institutions of archaeology in the United States but of the many colorful people who worked there. Their collective legacy in archaeology is almost unparalleled. Those of us who are interested in the history of American archaeology must have this book on our shelves. -Michael J. O'Brien, provost at Texas A&M University-San Antonio
