Professional ethics and subjectivity: regarding one monograph and two reviews

Author(s): Elena V. Izbitser

Keywords: historiography; book review; archaeological assemblages; Moshchevaia Balka

Summary/Abstract: This article discusses a monograph by A.A. Ierusalimskaia “Moshchevaia Balka. An Unusual Archaeological Site on the North Caucasian Silk Road” and two reviews on it that express diametrically opposing views about its scholarly contribution. In a number of examples the article shows that with a complete disregard for the critiques of her previous publications on a range of issues, A.A. Ierusalimskaia in this work demonstrates a lack of familiarity with both published and archival sources; purposely misrepresents the history of the study of Moshchevaia Balka, and falsifies (in some cases clearly deliberately) information about archaeological assemblages.
