 abstract={Sporadic attempts to incorporate pottery analysis into the wider field of archaeological inquiry in the German-speaking world can be traced back into the 19th century. Systematic archaeo-ceramology, however, has its origins in the interwar years. The very different biographies of the protagonists involved reflect the troubled times they lived in. They include both members of the nazi establishment as well as victims of nazi persecution. Post-war patterns of interest in and deployment of ceramological research up to this day are clearly linked to the seminal implementation of archaeo-ceramology in the Third Reich but also to early to mid-20th century debates about interpretative strategies, particularly in prehistoric archaeology. These debates, which pitted xenophobic “volkish” ideologies against liberal historistic visions, would have a decisive impact on the formation of the cultural-historical paradigm, which has formed the backdrop to decisions whether or not to incorporate archaeo-ceramology in interdisciplinary research projects to this day. The emergence of large-scale systematic ceramological inquiry in the 1970s can be linked to the initiatives of a small circle of energetic scientists, the post-war patriarchs. Depending on their interests, as well as the regional and academic context in which their work was embedded, idiosyncratic focuses in methodology and chronological focus emerged, which would characterize German-speaking archaeo-ceramology until the close of the millennium. This paper serves as an introduction to a comprehensive annotated bibliography of German-speaking archaeological ceramology from the 19th century to modern times, which is published on the enclosed CD-ROM at the end of this volume},
