- Summary
- The landscape of the nineteenth century, Stephen Williams asserts, is dotted with fakes, frauds, and humbugs whose fantastic claims of purported findings would make even P.T. Barnum blush. In Fantastic Archaeology, Williams takes them all on with gusto--illuminating, debunking, and instructing on the modes, methods, manners, and manifestations of American archaeology through the past two centuries. -- Back cover
