Oktober in Berlin durchgeführt haben.1 Die Veranstaltung wurde im Rahmen der Cross Sectional Group V Space & Collective Identities2 konzipiert – einer Forschungsgruppe, die während der ersten Förderungsphase des Exzellenzclusters Topoi. The Formation und Transformation of Space & Knowledge (–) die Grund- lagenforschung zu Raum und kollektiven Identitäten vernetzte und unterstützte. Orga- nisiert wurde der Workshop von den Herausgebenden und Eva Cancik-Kirschbaum. Das Thema Wanderung bzw. Migration ist in den Altertumswissenschaften immer schon von großer Bedeutung gewesen und stellt ein Paradebeispiel für die Verknüp- fung von Raum und Identität dar. Wanderungsbewegungen werden zur Erklärung kul- turellen und historischen Wandels herangezogen: Sie fungieren als historische Wegmar- ken oder Epochenschwellen, manifestieren sich in kulturhistorischen Diffusionstheori- en und spielen eine zentrale Rolle bei der Konstruktion geohistorischer und geopoli- tischer Großräume. Dieser historisch-archäologische ,Migrationismus‘ ist zwar in den Altertumswissenschaften selbst seit den er Jahren zunehmend kritisiert worden, hat sich jedoch nicht nur in Überblicks- und populärwissenschaftlichen Darstellungen bis heute nahezu ungebrochen gehalten. Die Omnipräsenz von Wanderungsnarrativen in durchaus differenten Kontexten zeigt, dass von eindeutigen Korrespondenzen weder in wissensgeschichtlicher noch in ideologischer oder politischer Hinsicht die Rede sein kann. Woher aber bezieht dieses Modell bis heute seine vermeintliche Erklärungs- und Überzeugungskraft, und inwiefern lassen Aufkommen und Kritik entsprechender Vor- stellungen Rückschlüsse auf die Wissensgeschichte des . und . Jahrhunderts zu? Dieser Frage gingen in Vorträgen nicht nur AltertumswissenschaftlerInnen ver- schiedener Fächer, sondern auch Zeit- und WissenschaftshistorikerInnen, eine Ethnolo- gin, eine Politikwissenschaftlerin und ein Soziologe nach. Als Chairs fungierten Gisela Eberhardt, Carolin Jauß und Achim Saupe. Ihnen und den zahlreichen TeilnehmerIn- nen danken wir ganz herzlich für die spannenden Diskussionen. Sehr gefreut haben wir uns über das große Interesse an historiographischen Wanderungsnarrativen, so dass wir neben der Großzahl der Vortragenden auch noch zusätzliche AutorInnen – Susan- ne Grunwald, Franziska Torma und Jörg Feuchter – für unseren Tagungsband gewinnen konnten.

Zur Verknüpfung von Raum und Identität in Migrationserzählungen Zusammenfassung Migrationen eignen sich ideal dazu, erzählt zu werden. Sie spielen bei der Thematisierung kulturellen Wandels, der (Trans)Formation von Räumen oder der Konstituierung von Iden- titäten eine zentrale Rolle. Anknüpfend an narratologische Ansätze in der Historiographie- geschichte fragen wir, wie Migrationen erzählt werden und welche spezifischen Erzählmus- ter dabei in den Altertumswissenschaften Verwendung finden. Nach Einführung des zen- tralen Begriffs der historiographischen Wanderungsnarrative skizzieren wir die empirisch- rekonstruktive Konstituierung kollektiver Identitäten und ihre Verknüpfungen mit Räu- men. Sodann stellen wir die Beiträge des Sammelbandes thematisch gegliedert vor, um abschließend weitere Perspektiven einer narratologischen Erforschung von Wanderungs- historiographien aufzuzeigen. Keywords: Migration; Narrative; Wissenschaftsgeschichte; intentionale Geschichte; Identi- tät; Raum. Migrations make for ideal storytelling. They play a central role in the thematization of cul- tural change, the (trans)formation of space, and the constitution of identities, among other areas. Building on narratological approaches to the history of historiography in historical scholarship, we ask how migration stories are told and what specific narrative patterns find a use in ancient studies. After introducing the central concept of historiographic migration narratives, we outline the empirical-reconstructive constitution of collective identities and their correlations with spaces. We then present the contributions in the volume, organized by theme, to conclusively show further prospects for the narratological study of migration historiographies. Keywords: Migration; narrative; history of science; intentional history; identity; space. Felix Wiedemann, Kerstin P. Hofmann, Hans-Joachim Gehrke (eds.) | Vom Wandern der Völker.

  • And the Hamitic Hypothesis
    religions Article Ancient Egyptians in Black and White: ‘Exodus: Gods and Kings’ and the Hamitic Hypothesis Justin Michael Reed Department of Biblical Studies, Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary, Louisville, KY 40205, USA; [email protected] Abstract: In this essay, I consider how the racial politics of Ridley Scott’s whitewashing of ancient Egypt in Exodus: Gods and Kings intersects with the Hamitic Hypothesis, a racial theory that asserts Black people’s inherent inferiority to other races and that civilization is the unique possession of the White race. First, I outline the historical development of the Hamitic Hypothesis. Then, I highlight instances in which some of the most respected White intellectuals from the late-seventeenth through the mid-twentieth century deploy the hypothesis in assertions that the ancient Egyptians were a race of dark-skinned Caucasians. By focusing on this detail, I demonstrate that prominent White scholars’ arguments in favor of their racial kinship with ancient Egyptians were frequently burdened with the insecure admission that these ancient Egyptian Caucasians sometimes resembled Negroes in certain respects—most frequently noted being skin color. In the concluding section of this essay, I use Scott’s film to point out that the success of the Hamitic Hypothesis in its racial discourse has transformed a racial perception of the ancient Egyptian from a dark-skinned Caucasian into a White person with appearance akin to Northern European White people. Keywords: Ham; Hamite; Egyptian; Caucasian; race; Genesis 9; Ridley Scott; Charles Copher; Samuel George Morton; James Henry Breasted Citation: Reed, Justin Michael. 2021.

  • Rock Art and Celto-Germanic Vocabulary Shared Iconography and Words As Reflections of Bronze Age Contact
    John T. Koch Rock art and Celto-Germanic vocabulary Shared iconography and words as reflections of Bronze Age contact Abstract Recent discoveries in the chemical and isotopic sourcing of metals and ancient DNA have transformed our understanding of the Nordic Bronze Age in two key ways. First, we find that Scandinavia and the Iberian Peninsula were in contact within a system of long- distance exchange of Baltic amber and Iberian copper. Second, by the Early Bronze Age, mass migrations emanating from the Pontic-Caspian steppe had reached both regions, probably bringing Indo-European languages with them. In the light of these discoveries, we launched a research project in 2019 — ‘Rock art, Atlantic Europe, Words & Warriors (RAW)’ — based at the University of Gothenburg and funded by the Swedish Research Council (Vetenskapsrådet). The RAW project undertakes an extensive programme of scanning and documentation to enable detailed comparison of the strikingly similar iconography of Scandinavian rock art and Iberian ‘warrior’ stelae. A linguistic aspect of this cross-disciplinary project is to re-examine the inherited word stock shared by Celtic and Germanic, but absent from the other Indo-European languages, exploring how these words might throw light onto the world of meaning of Bronze rock art and the people who made it. This paper presents this linguistic aspect of the RAW project and some pre- liminary findings. Keywords: rock art, Bronze Age, Proto-Celtic, Proto-Germanic Introduction The recurrent themes and concepts found migrations emanating from the Pontic- in both the rock art of Scandinavia and Caspian steppe spreading widely across the Late Bronze Age ‘warrior’ stelae of the Western Eurasia, transforming the popula- Iberian Peninsula could undoubtedly also tions of regions including Southern Scan- be expressed in words.

  • From Leipzig to Jerusalem: Erich Brauer, a Jewish Ethnographer in Search of a Field1
    Naharaim 2014, 8(1): 91–119 Vered Madar, Dani Schrire From Leipzig to Jerusalem: Erich Brauer, a Jewish Ethnographer in Search of a Field1 Abstract: Erich Brauer (1895–1942) was born in Berlin, where he was active in the Jung Juda youth-movement. A talented graphic artist, he was trained as an ethnologist in Leipzig and is best known today for his ethnological studies done in Palestine, especially his monographs on the Jews of Yemen (published in German in 1934) and the Jews of Kurdistan (published in Hebrew in 1947 and in English in 1993). Brauer’s work is discussed in relation to his disciplin- ary habitus as a diffusionist ethnologist whose dissertation in Leipzig was de- voted to the religion of the Herero and what was then known as the “Hamitic Thesis.” This background helps explain his relation to “the field” in two senses – the site where ethnographic fieldwork is conducted and the disciplinary field of German ethnology (Völkerkunde). These two fields are inseparable from one another and are discussed in the context of the status of ethnographic disci- plines at The Hebrew University in Mandatory Palestine. Finally, the paper ex- amines historiographic issues relating to the fate of the communities Brauer studied, his own Zionist identity, and the way German ethnology was practiced during National Socialism. DOI 10.1515/naha-2014-0005 1 This study began as part of a joint project of the Institut für Kulturanthropologie/Europäische Ethnologie Göttingen and the Folklore Program of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem –“Per- spectives on Cultural Studies,” directed by Regina Bendix and Galit Hasan-Rokem and funded by the Volkswagen Stiftung / MWK Niedersachsen.

  • F. Nikulka, Archäologische Demographie. Methoden, Daten Und Bevölkerung Der Europäischen Bronze
    Nikulka Archäologische Demographie Archäologische Demographie Archäologische Der “demographische Faktor” war zu allen Zeiten der Menschheitsgeschichte von Bedeutung für die soziale Organisation und für archäologische Theoriebildung. Nun werden erstmals Daten zu den Bevölkerungsverhältnissen der europäischen Bronze- und Eisenzeiten zusam- menfassend vorgelegt und deren sozialarchäologische Relevanz untersucht. Dem Aufgabenbereich der Archäologie entsprechend zielt die Archäologische Demographie auf die Bedeutung der lokalen und regionalen Bevölkerungsverhältnisse ab: Gruppengrößen, Bevölkerungsdichten, Bevölkerungsschwankungen. Grundlage dieser Analysen sind Gräber, Siedlungen und darüber hinaus zahlreiche andere archäologische Quellen sowie ergänzend naturwissenschaftliche Daten. Die Grenzen zwischen dem Aufgabenbereich der Archäolo- gischen Demographie, der Siedlungsarchäologie, der Umwelt- und Landschaftsarchäologie sowie der Sozialarchäologie bleiben fließend. Archäologische Bevölkerungsdaten sind quel- len- und methodenbedingt als Eckwerte zu verstehen, die der historischen Realität mehr oder weniger nahe kommen. Oft beschreiben die Daten nur Minimalwerte. Zwei Theorien bilden traditionell den Rahmen, in dem sich die Archäologische Demogra- phie auch heute noch bewegt: Soziale Krisenreaktionen wie Kriege und Migrationen nach Thomas Robert Malthus (1798) und subsistenzwirtschaftliche Problemlösungen nach Ester Boserup (1965).

The Prehistoric Civilisation Of The Finns Chapter 5. The Third Or Iranian Period Chapter 6. Beliefs Of The West Finns As Exhibited In The Magic Songs 1 PREFACE In this country the term Finn is generally restricted to the natives of Finland, with perhaps those of Esthonia thrown in. But besides these Western Finns there are other small nationalities in Central and Northern Russia, such as the Erza and Mokša Mordvins, the Čeremis, Votiaks, Permians, and Zịrians, to whom the term is very properly applied, though with the qualifying adjective—Eastern. Except by Folklorists, little attention is paid in Great Britain to these peoples, and much that is written of them abroad finds no response here, the 'silver streak' acting, it would seem, as a non-conductor to such unsensational and feeble vibrations. Although the languages of the Eastern and Western Finns differ as much perhaps among themselves as the various members of the Aryan group, the craniological and physical differences between any two Finnish groups is very much less than between the Latin and the Teutonic groups, for instance.

  • The Cimbri of Denmark, the Norse and Danish Vikings, and Y-DNA Haplogroup R-S28/U152 - (Hypothesis A)
    The Cimbri of Denmark, the Norse and Danish Vikings, and Y-DNA Haplogroup R-S28/U152 - (Hypothesis A) David K. Faux The goal of the present work is to assemble widely scattered facts to accurately record the story of one of Europe’s most enigmatic people of the early historic era – the Cimbri. To meet this goal, the present study will trace the antecedents and descendants of the Cimbri, who reside or resided in the northern part of the Jutland Peninsula, in what is today known as the County of Himmerland, Denmark. It is likely that the name Cimbri came to represent the peoples of the Cimbric Peninsula and nearby islands, now called Jutland, Fyn and so on. Very early (3rd Century BC) Greek sources also make note of the Teutones, a tribe closely associated with the Cimbri, however their specific place of residence is not precisely located. It is not until the 1st Century AD that Roman commentators describe other tribes residing within this geographical area. At some point before 500 AD, there is no further mention of the Cimbri or Teutones in any source, and the Cimbric Cheronese (Peninsula) is then called Jutland. As we shall see, problems in accomplishing this task are somewhat daunting. For example, there are inconsistencies in datasources, and highly conflicting viewpoints expressed by those interpreting the data. These difficulties can be addressed by a careful sifting of diverse material that has come to light largely due to the storehouse of primary source information accessed by the power of the Internet. Historical, archaeological and genetic data will be integrated to lift the veil that has to date obscured the story of the Cimbri, or Cimbrian, peoples.

  • A Study of Ethnographic Collecting and Display
    Material Cultures of Imperialism in Eastern Africa, c.1870–1920: A Study of Ethnographic Collecting and Display Alison Bennett UCL PhD History 1 This thesis is submitted for the degree of PhD. I, Alison Bennett, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 Abstract This dissertation examines the entangled relationship between ethnographic collecting and early British imperial expansion in present-day Uganda and neighbouring parts of Kenya. Between 1870 and 1920, thousands of objects from this region were accessioned by British museums and their colonial counterparts in eastern Africa. However, historians and curators alike know remarkably little about the contexts of their acquisition. Histories of the colonial period in Uganda and Kenya have rarely engaged with these crucial material sources, relying instead upon methodologies that privilege the textual and oral archive. Meanwhile in museum histories and displays, objects from eastern Africa are eclipsed by material culture from western Africa and Egypt. By combining close object analysis with archival and visual material, and by drawing on theoretical approaches to material culture from anthropology, this thesis reassembles the rich and complex histories of this important material archive for the first time. In doing so, it reveals the significant material underpinnings of both imperial and counter-imperial activity in the region. Focusing on a variety of different collectors ranging from colonial officials to missionaries, local leaders and museums, it shows that collecting was a pivotal tool for mediating different encounters, relationships, identities, and power structures within colonial society.

The relative Bronze Age chronology for Scandinavia was established as early as 1885. It is traditionally divided into 6 periods (I–VI). Earlier attempts to make an absolute Bronze Age chronology for southern Scandinavia were derived from burials and settlements and were mainly based on radiocarbon-dated charcoal or carbonized cereals, often with undefined archaeological periods. Here, we present high-precision 14C dating on burials with well-defined associated archae- ological periods in order to improve the absolute chronology of the Danish Bronze Age. Our results are in broad agreement with the traditional absolute chronology of the Danish Bronze Age.

    Bronze Age wool: provenance and dye investigations of Danish textiles Karin Margarita Frei1,2,∗, Ulla Mannering2,3, Ina Vanden Berghe4 & Kristian Kristiansen5 Recent analysis of the wool textiles from the 0 km 200 famous Egtved oak coffin burial in Denmark indicated that the wool had been obtained N from beyond Denmark. Was this an isolated case or evidence of a large-scale wool trade in the Danish Bronze Age? To investigate the broader pattern of wool provenance, textile manufacturing and trade practices, Copenhagen strontium isotope and organic dye analyses were conducted on textiles from a variety of selected burial contexts. Strontium isotope analysis revealed that at least 75 per cent of the Bronze Age wool samples originated outside present-day Denmark. Results also showed no evidence for the use of organic dyes, thereby supporting the hypothesis that no dyestuffs were used in Nordic Bronze Age textile production. These results challenge extant interpretations of Scandinavian Bronze Age textile provenance, and demonstrate the complexity of exchange networks in wool textiles during this period. Keywords: Denmark, Bronze Age, strontium isotopes, wool, dye, trade, textiles Introduction In recent decades, archaeological textile research has contributed new and important information to the understanding of European cultural history (Andersson Strand et al. 2010; Bender Jørgensen & Grömer 2013;Nosch2015).
