	South American Archaeology: European conquest and aftermath
		A part of archaeology that resides at the intersection of public awareness and research concerns deals with interpretations of the past seen in the intellectual context of their times.

	Pacifica Graduate Institute \| Joseph Campbell & Marija Gimbutas Library \| Marija Gimbutas - Life and Work
		Due to an extensive knowledge of European languages, Marija was engaged by Harvard University in 1950 to do research and to write texts on European prehistory (many of the archaeological reports from Eastern Europe were unreadable by her senior colleagues).
		During those very active years, she was appointed Chair of European Archaeology where she stimulated the development of Indo-European studies, became Curator of Old World Archaeology at the Cultural History Museum, edited a number of scholarly publications, and maintained an enormous output of published work while traveling and lecturing extensively throughout the world.
		Although it is considered improper in mainstream archaeology to interpret the ideology of prehistoric societies, it became obvious to Marija that every aspect of Old European life expressed a sophisticated religious symbolism.

	The Virtual Pomegranate
		Marija Gimbutas spent thirteen years at Harvard University as a researcher, producing texts on European archaeology which established her as a world-class scholar on the prehistory of the Slavs, the Balts and the Indo-European Bronze Age (see Polomé and Skomal 1987; Polomé 1997:102-107).
		From 1963 to 1989 Marija Gimbutas taught Baltic and Slavic studies and was Professor of European Archaeology at the University of California, Los Angeles where she was instrumental in establishing the Institute of Archaeology and Indo-European studies.
		Gimbutas saw the Old European cultures as egalitarian, primarily peaceful, with a wealth of artistic expression that reflected a sophisticated veneration of the cycles of life, death, regeneration (which she called Goddess); the transition to androcracy took place after the 5th millennium B.C. Keller and Gimbutas are accused by Hayden of resembling "born again" fundamentalists.

	Merovingian Mortuary Archaeology and the Making of the Early Mid
		Tracing the history of Merovingian archaeology within its cultural and intellectual context for the first time, Effros exposes biases and prejudices that have colored previous interpretations of these burial sites and assesses what contemporary archaeology can tell us about the Frankish kingdoms.
		Working at the intersection of history and archaeology, and drawing from anthropology and art history, Effros emphasizes in particular the effects of historical events and intellectual movements on French and German antiquarian and archaeological studies of these grave goods.
		The clarity and sophistication with which Effros discusses the methods and results of European archaeology is a compelling demonstration of the impact of nationalist ideologies on a single discipline and of the struggle toward the more pluralistic vision that has developed in the post-war years.
