She focuses in particular on the career of Mexico's first national archaeologist, Inspector General Leopoldo Batres. He was a controversial figure who was accused of selling artifacts and damaging sites through professional incompetence by his enemies, but who also played a crucial role in establishing Mexican control over the nation's archaeological heritage. Exploring debates between Batres and his rivals such as the anthropologists Zelia Nuttall and Marshall Saville, Valiant reveals how Porfirian politicians reinscribed the political meaning of artifacts while social scientists, both domestic and international, struggled to establish standards for Mexican archaeology that would undermine such endeavors. 410 0$aBrill's studies in intellectual history ;$vv. 269. 410 0$aBrill's studies in intellectual history.$pBrill's studies on art, art history, and intellectual history ;$vv. 20. 606 $aNationalism$zMexico$xHistory 607 $aMexico$xPolitics and government$y1867-1910 615 0$aNationalism$xHistory. 676 $a972.0835 700 $aValiant$b Seonaid$01494032 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910796558603321 996 $aOrnamental nationalism$93717357 997 $aUNINA
