Welche Aufschlüsse ermöglichen Forschungen, die die Verbindungen zwischen Objekten sowie zwischen Objekten und Menschen in den Blick nehmen? Antworten auf diese Frage bietet Band 1 der Reihe "Formate – Forschungen zur Materiellen Kultur". In sieben Einzelstudien untersuchen die Teammitglieder am Institut für Realienkunde aus den Fachbereichen Archäologie, Germanistik, Geschichte und Kunstgeschichte Arten und Qualitäten der Bindungen zwischen Menschen und Objekten, aber auch zwischen Objekten untereinander in spezifischen "Objektgesellschaften" in Mittelalter und Früher Neuzeit. Gemeinsam zeigen die Beiträge, dass die Charakteristika der Verbindungen in den verschiedenen Objektgesellschaften zwar vielfältig sind, ihre eingehende Analyse aber einen fruchtbaren interdisziplinären Ansatz zur Beschreibung materieller Kulturen darstellt. Das Buch versteht sich somit als methodisch-konzeptioneller Beitrag zum Object Turn in den Kulturwissenschaften.

Medieval archaeology is a relatively young discipline. It relies heavily on and contributes to the neighbouring disciplines of history and geography as well as certain of the natural sciences. The kinds of sources investigated in the context of medieval archaeology also cast light on many aspects of life in later centuries. The main sources used are: graveyards, churches and churchyards; castles and fortifications; rural and urban settlements; technical production sites and routes of communication. Closely allied to these are the numerous finds of small objects of everyday life, from cutlery and tools to animal remains and grain. This book is a comprehensive discussion of what can be established from the use of such materials about the culture and daily life of medieval Germany. Each subject is augmented with the use of many illustrations. Besides methodological questions, the author considers what can be learnt about the history of settlement and architecture, of technology, of economic and social matters, of churches and missions, and of population, diet and vegetation.
'Early Celtic art' - typified by the iconic shields, swords, torcs and chariot gear we can see in places such as the British Museum - has been studied in isolation from the rest of the evidence from the Iron Age. This book reintegrates the art with the archaeology, placing the finds in the context of our latest ideas about Iron Age and Romano-British society. The contributions move beyond the traditional concerns with artistic styles and continental links, to consider the material nature of objects, their social effects and their role in practices such as exchange and burial. The aesthetic impact of decorated metalwork, metal composition and manufacturing, dating and regional differences within Britain all receive coverage. The book gives us a new understanding of some of the most ornate and complex objects ever found in Britain, artefacts that condense and embody many histories.

This is the first truly global survey of the relationship between artifacts and texts from historiographical, methodological, and analytical perspectives. It analyzes the crucial relationship between material culture and writing in ancient societies, employing examples from twelve major disciplines in historical archaeology and summarizing their role in five global methodological approaches. It is valuable reading for advanced (under/post) graduate students, and instructors in any historical archaeological subject.
