'Which brings us to the next, and for many, the most important topic addressed in these essays: what Donald Kuspit called in 1989 the "mighty metaphor" of archaeology within the discourse of psychoanalysis, which inspired Freud from his earliest studies of hysteria to his latest papers on analytical technique. Within psychoanalytic circles, the role of this metaphor became controversial in the 1980s through the extended critique launched by Donald Spence, who attacked the biases inherent in it from the standpoint of a postmodern understanding of narrative, truth, and history.'

Maybe Whitemarsh Hall now manifests a somewhat new type of archaeology,
where it's not just layers of earth that must be sifted through, rather
layers of memory. All the same, it's still treasure hunting (which is most
likely the progenitor of all archaeology).
