The relics remained on display for two decades, challenging understandings of when and where Europeans first reached the Americas. In 1956 the discovery was exposed as an unquestionable hoax, tarnishing the reputation of the museum director, Charles Trick Currelly, who had acquired the relics and insisted on their authenticity. Drawing on an array of archival sources, Douglas Hunter reconstructs the notorious hoax and its many players. Beardmore unfolds like a detective story as the author sifts through the voluminous evidence and follows the efforts of two unlikely debunkers, high-school teacher Teddy Elliott and government geologist T.L. Tanton, who find themselves up against Currelly and his scholarly allies. Along the way, the controversy draws in a who's who of international figures in archaeology, Scandinavian studies, and the museum world, including anthropologist Edmund Carpenter, whose mid-1950s crusade against the find's authenticity finally convinced scholars and curators that the grave was a fraud. Shedding light on museum practices and the state of the historical and archaeological professions in the mid-twentieth century, Beardmore offers an unparalleled view inside a major museum scandal, to show how power can be exercised across professional networks and hamper efforts to arrive at the truth."-- $c Provided by publisher. 610 20 $a Royal Ontario Museum $x Archaeological collections. 610 20 $a Royal Ontario Museum $x History. 610 26 $a Royal Ontario Museum $x Histoire. 610 27 $a Royal Ontario Museum. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00543999 651 0 $a America $x Norse. $x Norse. 651 0 $a Ontario $x Antiquities. 650 0 $a Vikings $z Ontario. 650 0 $a Hoaxes $z Ontario. 650 0 $a Museums $x Acquisitions $z Toronto. $z Toronto. 651 6 $a Amerique $x Norse. $x Norse. 651 6 $a Ontario $x Antiquites. 650 6 $a Vikings $z Ontario. 650 6 $a Canulars $z Ontario. 650 7 $a Antiquities. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00810745 650 7 $a Archaeology $x Private collections. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01351719 650 7 $a Discovery and exploration, Norse. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01352782 650 7 $a Hoaxes. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01750258 650 7 $a Museums $x Acquisitions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01030132 650 7 $a Vikings. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01166937 651 7 $a America. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01239786 651 7 $a Ontario. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204832 651 7 $a Ontario $z Toronto. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205798 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 830 0 $a Carleton library series ; $v 246. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191214020441.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20191002013914.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3052A0022E9411E9B5CB1E4197128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
