DESCRIPTION:In the course of the long nineteenth century\, European excava
 tors ransacked archaeological sites from Rome to Chinese Turkestan\, hauli
 ng home treasures of untold number and value.  Their doings\, however\, so
 on led to the rise of monument protection services and laws against the ex
 portation of antiquities. Today’s largely sessile form of archaeological
  practice and our non-aestheticizing\, historicist attitude toward classic
 al artefacts is the unintended consequence of earlier attempts to plunder 
 them.\n\nSuzanne L. Marchand is the author of _Down from Olympus: Archaeol
 ogy and Philhellenism in Germany\, 1750-1970_ (Princeton University Press\
 , 2003) and _German Orientalism in the Age of Empire: Religion\, Race\, an
 d Scholarship_ (Cambridge University Press\, 2009)\, which was awarded the
  George L. Mosse Prize of the American Historical Association.
