RELIQUIAS DEL PASADO
EL COLECCIONISMO Y EL ESTUDIO DE LAS ANTIGÜEDADES PRECOLOMBINAS EN EL PERÚ Y CHILE, 1837-1911
STEFANIE GÄNGER
Relics of the Past tells the story of antiquities collecting, antiquarianism, and archaeology in Cuzco and Lima, over the Araucanian territories and the War of the Pacific in the second half of the nineteenth and early twentieth century. While the role of foreign travellers and scholars dedicated to the study of South America's pre-Columbian past is well documented, historians have largely overlooked the knowledge gathered and the collections formed among collectors of antiquities, antiquaries, and archaeologists born or living in South America during this period ... This volume unveils a hitherto largely unknown world of antiquarian and archaeological collecting and learning in Peru and Chile.
