Description

This publication is the first to be dedicated to a relatively new field of archaeological work. Sensational finds from the LWL Archaeology for Westphalia from the 19th and 20th centuries are shown for the first time and contrasted with objects from Finland, France and the USA. The book also provides an overview of the methods and challenges that modern archaeology poses for planning and excavations, analysing finds and features and archiving them.

The time frame of the publication ranges from the beginning of industrialisation to the turn of the millennium. Everyday life in Westphalia at the time of the two world wars plays a role, as do mining and steel production and life at festivals such as Woodstock. The focus is on the relationship between man and his objects, i.e. those things that man himself has produced. Around 100 stories are told, each of which uses an object that is characterised by its unique relationship to man as an example. In addition, individual themes are presented in more detail using several exhibits.
