Abstract

En el siglo XIX se llevaron a cabo en el Imperio Otomano numerosas expediciones arqueológicas a cargo de investigadores británicos. La práctica de la arqueología de campo ofrecía una experiencia única de contacto e interacción entre los excavadores británicos y los oficiales y súbditos del Imperio Otomano. La intención de este artículo es ilustrar la naturaleza de diálogo de esta interacción entre los exploradores británicos y los súbditos otomanos partiendo de la arqueología real en el Próximo Oriente.Palabras clave: Imperio Otomano, exploradores británicos, historia de la arqueología, interacción simbólica, Hormuzd Rassam, Austen Henry Layard, Hilmi Pasha, Mosul, Museo BritánicoAbstractNumerous archaeological expeditions were carried out by British scholars in the Ottoman Empire in the 19thcentury.
