The Land of Prehistory offers a succinct history of the discipline of archaeology in America. The book reveals the nineteenth century bourgeois value system behind the field, its goals and its current condition. Alice Beck Kehoe argues that American archaeology, from the days of Thomas Jefferson to the present, has been shaped by an ethic of Manifest Destiny.
