 | | Caumont is considered one of the founders of modern archaeology in France, which came to later include (as used in the French meaning of archéologie) the study of art history as well. |
| | Caumont’s difficult relationship with local learned societies is one reason, therefore, why his network never fulfilled the hopes for provincial regeneration it had stirred in the 1830s. |
| | Caumont’s network has survived, but at the margins of academic knowledge and official memory--due to such shortcomings and, no doubt, because it figures among the forces that have checked French Jacobinism, or what Alain Cottereau has called “stato-centrism.”[9] For this reason or despite it, some contributors reclaim Caumont as a model worth emulating. |
