Prehistoric #archaeology should engage more in public debates before other actors fill #societalmemory with outdated narratives, historicizing political propaganda or new myths. This is the conclusion drawn by environmental ethicist Konrad Ott #UniKiel in his publication "Epistomology, Economics, and Ethics. A Practical Philosophy of Prehistoric Archaeology". It has now been published as Volume 4 of #ROOTSStudies: https://www.uni-kiel.de/en/cluster-roots/details/news/2024-01-30-roots-studies-4-epistomology

Migration Narratives in Archaeology @ Sidestone Press

Migration is not just a recent, crisis-driven phenomenon, but a fundamental part of human life – and has always been so. This booklet is aimed at everyone who is interested in human migration in the past. In short texts, we first deconstruct twelve common migration stereotypes which are often encountered in both scholarly texts and other media, such as news reports. While most of our texts are written from an archaeological perspective, they also impact how we see migration in the present. For example, are migrations always violent? What is the demographic impact of migrations? How does migration change both…

Mentale Konzepte der Stadt in Bild- und Textmedien der Vormoderne @ Sidestone Press

Der Band versammelt Beiträge aus verschiedenen wissenschaftlichen Disziplinen, die sich mentalen Konzepten, d.h. Vorstellungen oder Imaginationen der westeuropäischen mittelalterlichen Stadt widmen, die epochenübergreifend in unterschiedlichsten narrativen, diskursiven und visuellen Repräsentationen in Erscheinung treten. Stadt wird in den Beiträgen nicht nur als Teil der historischen Realität der Vormoderne betrachtet, sondern auch als fester Bestandteil des kulturellen Wissens und der kulturellen Erinnerung in den Blick genommen. In einer interdisziplinären Zusammenschau von Beiträgen aus den Bereichen Germanistik, Theologie, Archäologie, Geschichtswissenschaft und Kunstgeschichte werden mentale Konzepte der Stadt in unterschiedlichen medialen Formaten untersucht, darunter Stadtchroniken, säkulare Malerei, biblische Texte, mittelalterliche Stadtpläne und höfische Romane.…

The question of how human-environmental #connectivities shaped fundamental processes in #pastsocieties is the focus of research within the #ClusterROOTS. Now, a new book titled "Connectivity Matters!" has been published in the #ROOTSstudies series. It addresses the concept of connectivities in the human past, but also the importance of this concept for research in this field.

Connectivity Matters! @ Sidestone Press

This book is a presentation of the basic concept of social, environmental and cultural connectivity in past societies, as embodied in a diversity of disciplines in the Cluster of Excellence ROOTS. Thus, rather pragmatically driven ideas of socio-environmental connectivities are described, which form the basis of the Cluster of Excellence in its research. A discussion of the fluidness of the term ‘connectivity’ and the applicability of the concept opens the arena for diverse interpretations. With various case and concept studies, the reader may advance into the perspectives that develop from the new interdisciplinary interaction. These include both rarely considered dependencies…

In 1998, a copper hoard from the 4th millennium BC was found near Neuenkirchen, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (Germany). In his master's thesis, #ClusterROOTS member Henry Skorna examined the far-reaching connections of the Neuenkirchen find ensemble and the context of the site. The thesis is now available online at #SidestonePress:

The Life and Journey of Neolithic Copper Objects @ Sidestone Press

This work is an intensive study of the Neolithic deposition of copper objects from Neuenkirchen in North-East Germany. This unique ensemble represents one of the very rare hoard finds from the early Early Neolithic, and is the first of its kind for nearly 100 years, matched only by the famous younger hoard find from Bygholm (Denmark). The beginning of neolithization at the end of the fifth millennium is not only characterised by a change in the subsistence strategy, but also by the development of far-reaching networks of the Neolithic Funnel Beaker societies in Northern Germany. Proof is provided by the…
