- Synopsis
- University of Oregon-based archaeologist Schablitsky presents readers interested in film, archaeology, and history with this comparison between Hollywood portrayals of historical peoples and the reality as determined by archaeologists. Thirteen chapters take on the big screen's portrayal of Pocahontas and other American Indians, early Chinatowns, the Civil War submarine, the African American experience, the Titanic, pirates, mummies, and the Old West. The methodology for the archaeological assessment of film fiction is also described. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
