Holtorf's thesis is that the past is relative, that monuments mean different things to different people, and that those meanings, too, are relative. Drawing on his earlier publications on the meanings of archaeologic monuments, particularly menhirs and other megaliths, to later people, Holtorf (archaeology, U. of Lund, Sweden) ruminates on archaeology, popular culture, and interpretation in a cheerfully iconoclastic fashion that will rile many.
