520 8 The book offers a vivid portrait of the development of
antiquarianism and archaeology, the interaction between
regional and national history, and scholarly debates about
the use of ancient objects to answer questions of race,
ethnicity, and national belonging. While excavations in
central Europe throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth
centuries fed curiosity about the local landscape and
inspired musings about the connection between contemporary
Germans and their?ancestors,? antiquarians and
archaeologists were quite cautious about using
archaeological evidence to make ethnic claims. Even during
the period of German unification, many archaeologists
emphasized the local and regional character of their finds
and treated prehistory as a general science of humankind.
As Maner shows, these alternative perspectives endured
alongside nationalist and racist abuses of prehistory,
surviving to offer positive traditions for the field in
the aftermath of World War II. A fascinating investigation
of the quest to turn pre- and early history into history,
Germany's Ancient Pasts sheds new light on the joint sway
of science and politics over archaeological
interpretation.
