Archeology and False Antiquities is a book written by Robert Munro in 1905. The book explores the topic of fake and fraudulent antiquities and the impact they have on the field of archaeology. Munro discusses the different types of false antiquities, such as forgeries, imitations, and reproductions, and how they can be identified. He also examines the motives behind creating false antiquities, including financial gain and personal prestige. Munro provides numerous examples of famous cases of fake antiquities, such as the Piltdown Man hoax and the Etruscan terracotta warriors. The book also delves into the ethics of dealing with fake antiquities and the responsibility of archaeologists and collectors to ensure the authenticity of their artifacts. Overall, Archeology and False Antiquities is a fascinating look into the world of fraudulent antiquities and their impact on the study of history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
