Historiographical Approaches to Past Archaeological Research
Exzellenzcluster 264 Topoi
Writing the history of archaeology has become
increasingly diverse in recent years due to developments
in the historiography of the sciences and the humanities.
A move away from hagiography and presentations
of scientifi c processes as an inevitable progression has
been requested in this context. Historians of archaeolo
gy have begun to utilize approved and new historio
graphical concepts to trace how archaeological
knowledge has been acquired as well as to refl ect on the
historical conditions and contexts in which knowledge
has been generated. This volume seeks to contribute
to this trend. By linking theories and models with case
studies from the nineteenth and twentieth century, the
authors illuminate implications of communication
on archaeological knowledge and scrutinize routines
of early archaeological practices. The usefulness of
different approaches such as narratological concepts
or
the concepts of habitus is thus considered.
