James Koranyi, "Digging Politics: The Ancient Past and Contested Present in East-Central Europe"

Digging Politics explores uses of the ancient past in east-central Europe spanning the fascist, communist and post-communist period.

Contributions include the biographies of famous archaeologists during the Cold War, the wrought history of organizational politics of archaeology in Romania and the Balkans, politically charged Cold War exhibitions of the Thracians, the historical re-enactment of supposed ancient Central tribes in Hungary, and the virtual archaeology of Game of Thrones
