First published in 1998. The Land of Prehistory reveals the powerful ideological function American archaeology has naively served, from the discipline's construction in Victorian societal reform movements to the present. Alice Beck Kehoe chronicles major movements and influences such as the support of racist Spencerian evolutionism and Manifest Destiny ideologies, and the 1960s New Archaeology pandering to Big Science money. She concludes with a discussion of the recent revolutionary shift to multicultural voices within the field.

Introduction Chapter 1: The Construction of the Science of Archaeology Daniel Wilson models a science of prehistory on geology and the pre-Darwinian evolution of his mentor Robert Chambers of Edinburgh. Chapter 2: Science Boldly Predicts Behind Wilson's science of prehistory were the Scottish reformers George Combe and Robert Chambers; opposed to the Scots was the London scientific Establishment led by Sir John Lubbock. Nineteenth-century mainstream science boldy predicts. Chapter 3: Consolidating Prehistory Comparing Wilson's Prehistoric Man with Lubbock's rival volume, it is Lubbock's more purely ideological, racist statements that, coupled with his influential social position, won his Pre-historic Times its place in the Whig histories of archaeology. Chapter 4: America's History A detailed examination of Wilson's presentation of American prehistory, in which he recognizes the civilizations of American Indian nations. Chapter 5: Positivists of the New Frontier Professional American archaeology took off at the time when Turner announced that the physical frontier was at last closed, challenging Americans to go to new internal frontiers of research and economic development. American archaeology used positivist science to investigate the trans-frontier Land of Prehistory. Chapter 6: Petrified Puddle Ducks Walter Taylor's 1948 monograph acidly criticized contemporary American archaeology. Chapter 7: The New Archaeology Ten years after Taylor, Lewis Binford launched an attack on American archaeology. Carefully planned strategies and rhetoric blatantly dressing up proposals as Big Science gained National Science Foundation funding and made older archaeologists look naive. Chapter 8: The Philosophy of the New Archaeology An analysis of the much-touted philosophy of science of the New Archaeology. Chapter 9: Cahokia: Hidden in Plain Sight Mainstream American archaeologists' treatment of Cahokia, the awesome capital of an eleventh-century Midwestern state, reveals how powerfully Manifest Destiny ideology still affects American archaeology. Chapter 10: Burrowing Through the Chiefdom Lewis Henry Morgan's origin myth for American industrial capitalism is carried on through White, Service, and their students such as Timothy Earle. Chapter 11: The Taboo Topic Mainstream American archaeology absolutely refuses to discuss prehistoric contacts across salt water, even across the Gulf of Mexico. This legacy from Wilson's interpretation of American prehistory has been reinforced by Manifest Destiny ideology. Chapter 12: Land of Prehistory Postmodernists, sociologists of science, and many members of America's First Nations show little confidence in archaeologists' capacity to study the past. This final chapter outlines an approach to archaeological data that recognizes the social construction of knowledge without discounting empiricism or denigrating First Nations' own historical universes.
