"Our Ancestors the Gauls": Archaeology, Ethnic Nationalism, and the Manipulation of Celtic Identity in Modern Europe — Preceding unsigned comment added by Doug Weller ( talk • contribs) 15:22, 23 January 2022 (UTC)
Hindutva, Mythistory, and Pseudoarchaeology Cynthia Ann Humes Numen Vol. 59, No. 2/3, Alternative Archaeology (2012), pp. 178-201 (24 pages) JSTOR open access (I think, I've got it in any case)
p 501 chapter on "Ethnic conflict" in The Oxford Companion to Archaeology Volume 1y Neil Asher Silberman · 2012 - a snippet: "represent “cultures" defined by recurring artifacts or stylistic details, and that said assemblages might be equated with an ethnic group, is misleading. Anthropological and sociological studies indicate that material “cultures" do not directly correlate with ethnic groups. The notion that the past was made up of an archipelago of detached islands of “fixed" cultures is challenged by the ample evidence of regular cultural exchange between groups—a “cultural conversation" that incrementally altered the identities and material assemblages of these ethnic groups." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Doug Weller ( talk • contribs) 14:56, 24 February 2022 (UTC)
Something on hoaxes or nationalistic descriptions of sites, etc. Effect on what archaeology is done and what is ignored, although what is ignored is often what Bruce Trigger calls "colonialist archaeology", eg in Africa Europeans weren't interested in much more than the paleolithic. Some key examples, maybe by country? Doug Weller talk 13:29, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
Some frauds are accepted without careful scrutiny because of nationalism, eg Piltdown Man and the Japanese Paleolithic hoax. Doug Weller talk 16:54, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
Looks useful Doug Weller talk 17:31, 10 March 2023 (UTC)

I am thinking for organization it would make the most sense to have sections for notable examples from different nationalist movements. (And perhaps a few additional sections like a brief overview of nationalism?) I'll try to look into a few examples and gather sources and wikilinks on the talk page first. China came to mind first because of the Mao Zedong quote "Let the past serve the present."
