  • A Case-Study of the German Archaeologist Herbert Jankuhn (1905-1990)
    Science and Service in the National Socialist State: A Case-Study of the German Archaeologist Herbert Jankuhn (1905-1990) by Monika Elisabeth Steinel UCL This thesis is submitted for examination for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) January 2009 DECLARATION I, Monika Elisabeth Steinel, 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. January 2009 2 ABSTRACT The thesis investigates the relationship between archaeology, politics and ideology through a case-study of the prominent German archaeologist Herbert Jankuhn (1905- 1990). It addresses the following questions: what role do archaeological scholars assume in a totalitarian state’s organisational structures, and what may motivate them to do so? To what extent and how are archaeologists and their scientific work influenced by the political and ideological context in which they perform, and do they play a role in generating and/or perpetuating ideologies? The thesis investigates the nature and extent of Jankuhn's practical involvement in National Socialist hierarchical structures, and offers a thematically structured analysis of Jankuhn's archaeological writings that juxtaposes the work produced during and after the National Socialist period. It investigates selected components of Herbert Jankuhn's research interests and methodological approaches, examines his representations of Germanic/German pre- and protohistory and explores his adapting interpretations of the early medieval site of Haithabu in northern Germany. The dissertation demonstrates that a scholar’s adaptation to political and ideological circumstances is not necessarily straightforward or absolute. As a member of the Schutzstaffel, Jankuhn actively advanced National Socialist ideological preconceptions and military aims.

  • Der Johanna-Mestorf-Schule
    Schulprogramm der Johanna-Mestorf-Schule Stand: Juni 2015 Schulprogramm der Johanna-Mestorf-Schule Wer war Johanna Mestorf? Johanna Mestorf wurde am 15. April 1828 in Bad Bramstedt geboren. Wahrscheinlich ist ihr Interesse an der Archäologie früh durch die umfangreiche Altertumssammlung ihres Vaters geweckt worden. Johanna Mestorf verlor ihren Vater, als sie neun Jahre alt war. Ihre Mutter geriet dadurch mit ihren fünf Kindern in finanzielle Bedrängnis, trotzdem konnte sie Johanna in Itzehoe den Schulbesuch ermöglichen. 1849 ging die 21-jährige Johanna Mestorf erst nach Schweden, dann nach Italien und lebte in beiden Ländern jeweils etwa fünf Jahre lang in der Familie eines Grafen. Sie vertiefte während dieser Zeit als Erzieherin und Gesellschafterin ihre Sprach- und Geschichtskenntnisse. Ab 1859 lebte Johanna Mestorf hauptsächlich in Hamburg und verdiente sich ihren Lebensunterhalt als Übersetzerin und Fremdsprachensekretärin. 1866 erschien ihr historischer Roman „Wiebke Kruse, eine holsteinische Bauerntochter“. 1873 übernahm Johanna Mestorf die neu geschaffene Stelle der Kustodin am „Schleswig-Holsteinischen Museum vaterländischer Alterthümer“ in Kiel. Dieses Museum war kurz zuvor der Christian-Albrechts-Universität in Kiel angegliedert worden. Johanna Mestorf sichtete mit großem Engagement die Sammlungsbestände, die bis dahin „ein ungeordneter Haufen von Kuriositäten“ waren. 1885 erschien ihr Tafelband „Vorgeschichtliche Alterthümer aus Schleswig-Holstein. Zum Gedächtnis des fünfzigjährigen Bestehens des Museums vaterländischer Alterthümer in Kiel“. 1886 folgte ihr Werk „Urnenfriedhöfe in Schleswig-Holstein“, das lange Zeit als einzige Veröffentlichung dieses Fundstoffes galt. 1 Schulprogramm der Johanna-Mestorf-Schule 1891 wurde Johanna Mestorf die Leiterin des Kieler Museums. Damit war sie die erste Frau in Deutschland, die als Museumsdirektorin fungierte und ein Universitätsinstitut leitete. Sie pflegte weit reichende Kontakte zu Fachkollegen sowie zu wissenschaftlichen Institutionen und Gesellschaften, denen sie oft als Mitglied bzw.

This thesis describes an investigation of the wider landscape archaeology of bog bodies: a case study of Lindow II found on Lindow Moss, Cheshire and Tollund Man deposited on Bjӕldskovdal bog, Denmark. Focused on establishing the surrounding cultural archaeology, pre-peat landscape, development of the bog landscape on Lindow Moss and Bjӕldskovdal bog. Then locating the positions of Lindow II and Tollund Man in their respective shape of bog basin. A spatial exploration of Lindow II and Tollund Man’s relationship to the contemporary edge of the peat landscape was facilitated using 3D models created using newly generated auger data. A landscape investigation has shown that there was an absence of cultural archaeology surrounding Lindow II and Tollund Man within a 1.9km circumference.
