TY - JOUR AU - Terry A. Barnhart AB - The Edwin Hamilton Davis collection of American antiquities is a significant record of the prehistoric people known as the Hopewell – a Woodland Indian culture that flourished in present-day Ohio from c.100 BC to AD 500. The circumstances in which the collection originated and those that eventually brought it to the British Museum represent a significant chapter in the history of archaeology and Davis's place within the nineteenth-century intellectual tradition of antiquarianism and collecting. The collection embodies his legacy as an archaeological investigator and a connoisseur of American aboriginal art. « Previous | Next Article » Table of Contents This Article J Hist Collections (2004) 16 (1): 59-87. doi: 10.1093/jhc/16.1.59 » Abstract Free Full Text (PDF) Free Classifications Article Services Article metrics Alert me when cited Alert me if corrected Find similar articles Similar articles in Web of Science Add to my archive Download citation Request Permissions Citing Articles Load citing article information Citing articles via CrossRef Citing articles via Scopus Citing articles via Web of Science Citing articles via Google Scholar Google Scholar Articles by Barnhart, T.
