Puritans in Babylon: the ancient Near East and American intellectual life, 1880-1930
Bruce Kuklick
The development of scientific archeology a century ago and the resulting eager, competitive excavations throughout the Middle East had broad intellectual consequences in the United States. Scholars' preconceptions shaped their choices of sites and their interpretation of finds; what they found challenged and gradually changed their beliefs, and led to "a revolution in the way...Americans comprehended the world."
