520 |a "Empires of Antiquities is a history of the rediscovery of the imperial civilizations of the ancient Near East in a modern imperial order that evolved between the outbreak of the First World War and the decolonization of the British Empire in the 1950s. It explores the ways in which near eastern antiquity was redefined and experienced, becoming the subject of imperial regulation, modes of enquiry and international and national politics. A series of globally publicized spectacular archaeological discoveries in Iraq, Egypt and Palestine, which the book follows, made antiquity material, visible and accessible as never before. The book demonstrates that the new definition and uses of antiquity and their relations to modernity were inseparable from the emergence of the post-war international imperial order, transnational collaboration and crises, the aspirations of national groups and collisions between them and the British mandatories. It uniquely combines a history of the internationalization of archaeology and the rise of a new "regime of antiquities", under the oversight of the League of Nations and its institutions, a history of British attitudes to, and passion for near eastern antiquity and on- the- ground, colonial policies and mechanisms, as well as nationalist claims on the past. It points to the centrality of the new mandate system, particularly mandates classified A in of Mesopotamia /Iraq, Palestine and Transjordan, formerly governed by the Ottoman Empire, and of Egypt, in the new archaeological regime. Drawing on an unusually wide range of materials collected in archives in six countries, as well as on material and visual evidence, the book weaves together imperial, international, and national histories and the history of archaeological discovery which it connects to imperial modernity"--
