Buzz-word or paradigm shift? Some comments on "Medieval Archaeology", "Post-medieval Archaeology" and the rise of "Historical Archaeology" (a German perspective)
Author(s): Ulrich Müller
Year: 2013
Summary
In recent years "Historical Archaeology" has undergone a cometlike
rise. Traditional pre- and protohistoric archaeology has had a hard time in
accepting the conceptual design of "Historical Archaeology". Also, other
disciplines (like art history or medieval history) have had issues with a
concept that blurred established chronologies and disciplines. What does
"Historical Archaeology" mean in Germany? A container without contents,
a cross-cultural approach, or a concept that reunites the archaeologies of
periods with a so-called 'dense' tradition? This lecture briefly describe some of these
developments in Germany. Using a range of case studies, different conceptual and
methodological approaches are discussed
