Antiquities have been pawns in empire-building and global rivalries; power struggles; assertions of national and cultural identities; and cross-cultural exchanges, cooperation, abuses, and misunderstandings--all with the underlying element of financial gain. Indeed, "who owns antiquity?" is a contentious question in many of today's international conflicts. About Antiquities offers an interdisciplinary study of the relationship between archaeology and empire-building around the turn of the twentieth century. Starting at Istanbul and focusing on antiquities from the Ottoman territories, Zeynep Çelik examines the popular discourse surrounding claims to the past in London, Paris, Berlin, and New York. She compares and contrasts the experiences of two museums--Istanbul's Imperial Museum and the Metropolitan Museum of Art--that aspired to emulate European collections and gain the prestige and power of owning the material fragments of ancient history. Going beyond institutions, Çelik also unravels the complicated interactions among individuals--Westerners, Ottoman decision makers and officials, and local laborers--and their competing stakes in antiquities from such legendary sites as Ephesus, Pergamon, and Babylon. Recovering perspectives that have been lost in histories of archaeology, particularly those of the excavation laborers whose voices have never been heard, About Antiquities provides important historical context for current controversies surrounding nation-building and the ownership of the past.

Die vorliegende Arbeit befaßt sich mit Funden der gräko-persischen Periode Kleinasiens. Unter den Antiken in der Sammlung des Archäologischen Museums Istanbul befinden sich viele Objekte jener kleinasiatisch-gräko-persischen Kunstgattung. Unter diesen Objekten finden sich bisher unbekannte Fundstücke, die in diesem Zusammenhang das erste Mal ausführlich analysiert werden. Die Zahl der in diesem Katalog behandelten Stück aus Stein, Ton, Gold, Silber und anderen Edelmetallen beläuft sich auf 138 Stück. Die Untersuchung beschäftigt sich mit unterschiedlichen Fundgattungen wie z.B. Steinbildwerke, Toreutik, Keramik, Glyptik und Schmuck aus dem Umkreis der Westtürkei und Thrakien. In diesem Zusammenhang ist es ein wesentliches Anliegen der Arbeit, die noch unveröffentlichten architektonischen und plastischen Funde aus Daskyleion, das in den Jahren 1955–1958 ausgegraben worden ist, vorzustellen und neue Ergebnisse zur Toreutik, Glyptik und den Schmuck aus dem sardischen Gebiet zu liefern. Diese Funde sind Produkte eines Verschmelzungsprozesses zweier sehr gegensätzlicher Kulturkreise – dem des Ostens und dem des Westens. Durch ihre Analyse wurde versucht, die Gründe der politisch-kulturellen und sozialen Veränderungen in der nahezu 200jährigen Herrschaft der Achämeniden (546–334 v. Chr.) in Kleinasien durch die anatolisch-persischen Funde zu erfassen und auszuwerten.
