DANGEROUS ARCHAEOLOGY: Francis Willey Kelsey and Armenia (1919-1920)

By Thelma K. Thomas

Francis W. Kelsey's travels in the 1920s on behalf of the University of Michigan to establish archaeological projects in the Near East and North Africa are well known, but his first such expedition was a little-heralded trip through Armenia in 1919-1920. This book is an illustrated exhibition catalogue that documents Kelsey's Armenian travels and discusses the complex geo-political issues that Kelsey's expedition raised. 72p, illus.
