“…20 Zeiss was the deputy director of the Römisch-Germanische Kommission in Frankfurt from 1931, and he became full professor in Munich in 1935, and was part of the editorial committee of the antisemitic and racist journal Volk und Rasse until 1944, the year he was killed in Romania during World War II. 21 Among his students was Joachim Werner, who largely set the agenda of German early medieval archaeology after 1945 and whose work was primarily informed by Zeiss. 22 While the ethnic interpretation of the archaeological recordbased on his influential studies on early medieval burials in Visigothic Spain 23 has been subject to intensive debates in the context of ethnicity, Zeiss' account of Heilsbild and its implications has been mostly untouched by these critiques and is still ubiquitous in studies of early medieval art and archaeology.…”

Scholarship often treats the post-Roman art produced in central and north-western Europe as representative of the pagan identities of the new 'Germanic' rulers of the early medieval world. In this book, Matthias Friedrich offers a critical reevaluation of the ethnic and religious categories of art that still inform our understanding of early medieval art and archaeology. He scrutinises early medieval visual culture by combining archaeological approaches with art historical methods based on contemporary theory. Friedrich examines the transformation of Roman imperial images, together with the contemporary, highly ornamented material culture that is epitomized by 'animal art.' Through a rigorous analysis of a range of objects, he demonstrates how these pathways produced an aesthetic that promoted variety (varietas), a cross-cultural concept that bridged the various ethnic and religious identities of post-Roman Europe and the Mediterranean worlds.

National-Socialist Archaeology in Europe and Its Legacies

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Archaeology witnessed remarkable advances during the National Socialist regime, both as a research field and as part of international academic networks. The Nazi dictatorship and World War II provided contexts in which archaeology flourished, both in Germany and in (occupied) Europe. This archaeology was embedded in prestigious German archaeological traditions but based on a shared sense of National Socialist mission. Many of its elements can be connected to wider developments within the ‘Third Reich’ and resulted from processes of competitive improvisation and radicalisation. The archaeological programme thus produced was highly impactful.This edited volume investigates the individuals and organisations involved in the National Socialist archaeological programme, examines its origins, looks at its mobilisation, and reflects on its complex legacies. National Socialist archaeology is explored within the wider context of Europe and non-German experiences and interactions analysed. The volume also examines National Socialist attempts to denationalise the archaeologies of occupied European nations while creating unifying, transnational connections based on National Socialist ideas about race. By considering the full extent of the National Socialist archaeological programme in all its diversity and ruthlessness as a European phenomenon, its links with National Socialist atrocities, including the Holocaust, come into sharper focus.
