Oliver is joined by Luke Edgington Brown, PhD in Archaeology from the University of East Anglia, to discuss the role of archaeology in creating national histories. Luke’s research looked at the work of William Gowland on kofun imperial burial mounds during Japan’s industrial Meiji era, and so today we look at the relationship between the burial mounds of Japan’s emperors and the narrative constructed at the time for the newly restored Meiji emperor.
Luke's thesis is available here.
