The Drama of Digging in New England's Trash

By ANN WILSON LLOYD

ROCKTON, Mass. -- THE artist Mark Dion  is a globe-trotter and museum buff...
Mr. Dion studiously avoids making serious scientific or archaeological points in these projects. "He refuses to explain and contextualize," said Lasse Antonsen, director of the University Art Gallery. "By
implying that objectivity is a historically framed activity, he challenges established methods that led to disciplines like anthropology, archaeology and zoology."
