A Shadow of War
This book presents archaeological research from places of war, violence, protest and oppression of the 20th and the 21st century; sites where the material relics give a deep insight to fateful events - a shadow of war. Alongside renewed interest in National Socialism and the Holocaust, archaeological interest started in former concentration camps of the Nazi dictatorship. The focus was on the central places of the camps, such as the gas chambers, the crematoria, or execution sites, as well as prisoners' barracks and the parade ground. In many cases, these sites revealed forgotten and vanished structures, where archaeological excavations can offer the possibility for commemorating the victims...

Spuren von Krieg und Terror
In den letzten Jahren hat die zeitgeschichtliche Archäologie erheblich an Bedeutung gewonnen. Von besonderem Interesse sind Tatorte von Krieg und Terror des 20. Jahrhunderts in Deutschland, in Europa und vielen anderen Teilen der Welt. Gedenken und Erinnerung an die Opfer der Gewalt sind stets im Fokus. Dies schließt die würdevolle und ethische Behandlung der Opfer ein, es geht oft darum, ihnen ihren Namen und ihre individuelle Geschichte zurückzugeben. Dazu bieten sich die materiellen Hinterlassenschaften sehr gut an, seien es bauliche Überreste von Baracken der Zwangslager und Tötungseinrichtungen, seien es die zahllosen Objekte der Opfer und der Täter, die einen tiefen Einblick in die Zeit geben. Von besonderem Aussagewert für die global zu beobachtenden Überlebensstrategien der Häftlinge, aber auch der Soldaten, sind zahlreiche Objekte, die mit einfachsten Mitteln selbst gefertigt wurden und an das soziale Leben vor der Gefangenschaft, vor dem Krieg anknüpfen oder erinnern sollen.
Settlement Change Across Medieval Europe
Innovations, transmissions and transformations had profound spatial, economic and social impacts on the environments, landscapes and habitats evident at micro- and macro-levels. This volume explores how these changes affected how land was worked, how it was organized, and the nature of buildings and rural complexes.
Household Goods in the European Medieval and Early Modern Countryside
Although household goods are a well-establish topic in Medieval and Early Modern archaeology, more recent research is overcoming simple typological and technological aspects and pointing to broader approaches, which relates to the understanding of goods' production, consumption strategies, other economic activities and structures of social organization. Thus, the understanding of past societies and cultures relies heavily in the study of their household goods to understand people, groups and societies. In this context, the aim of the Ruralia XIV Conference was to emphasize the significance of household archaeology to the study of the European countryside in Medieval and Modern times under a ...

Perlen geschichtswissenschaftlicher Reflexion
In historischen, anthropologischen, literatur- und kulturwissenschaftlichen Essays nähern sich 39 Autorinnen und Autoren dem östlichen Europa an. Besondere Aufmerksamkeit erhalten dabei die historischen Räume Galizien und die Schwarzmeerregion, mehrere Beiträge überschreiten jedoch räumliche Zuordnungen. Sie betonen die translokale Perspektive oder betrachten Kolonialismus und Imperialismus beziehungsweise den orientalisierenden Blick auf diese Prozesse. Einen weiteren Schwerpunkt bilden Essays zu sozialen, nationalen und religiösen Fragen in diesem an Identitäten und Alteritäten so reichen Mittel- und Osteuropa. Einige Aufsätze schließlich untersuchen, wie historische Vorgänge e...
The Baiuvarii and Thuringi
A study of two Germanic tribes, the Baiuvarii and Thuringi, looking at their origins, development, and customs between the fifth and the eighth centuries. The large neighbouring tribes of the Baiuvarii and Thuringi, who lived between the Alps and the River Elbe from the fifth to eighth centuries, are the focus of this book. Using a variety of different sources drawn from the fieldsof archaeology, history, linguistics and religion, the contributions discuss how an ethnos, a gens, or a tribe, such as the Baiuvarii or Thuringi, might appear in the written and archaeological evidence. For the Thuringi tribal traditions started around the year 400 or even earlier, while the Baiuvarii experienced ...
Music & Ritual
The ICTM Study Group on Music Archaeology was founded in the early 1980s by Ellen Hickmann, John Blacking, Mantle Hood and Cajsa S. Lund. This is the first volume of the new anthology series published by the study group, turning to the topic of music and religion in past cultures. Each volume of the series is composed of concise case studies, bringing together the world's foremost researchers on a particular subject, reflecting the wide scope of music-archaeological research world-wide. The series draws in perspectives from a range of different disciplines, including newly emerging fields such as archaeoacoustics, but particularly encouraging both music-archaeological and ethnomusicological perspectives.
