About the Book

English summary: When the first archaeological activities were carried out by the Imperial Academy of Sciences (now the Austrian Academy of Sciences) some 150 years ago, prehistoric archaeology was still on its way to becoming an independent scientific discipline. The great antiquity of the history of mankind had just been confirmed by Darwin and the latest findings of geology raised a number of new questions. The answers would be provided by prehistoric research. For this reason Ferdinand von Hochstetter (1829-1884), geologist and director of the Natural History Court Museum at the Academy, encouraged the establishment of a Prehistoric Commission, whose duty would be to undertake prehistoric research and excavations in the Austrian parts of the monarchy. Hochstetter's idea fell on fertile ground. This volume represents a detailed and accurate history of the Prehistoric Commission for the first time. From its founding in 1878 until the end of the Habsburg monarchy in 1918 the Prehistoric Commission conducted excavations at over one hundred sites in Bohemia, Moravia, present-day Austria, southern Styria, Carniola, the Austrian littoral (the hinterlands of Trieste and Istria) and Dalmatia, some of which lasted many years. Thus it not only contributed significantly to the development of prehistory as an independent field of research, but also laid the foundations of prehistoric research for the successor states of the monarchy. The book documents this success story on the basis of previously unpublished and unknown archival material. In its first part the establishment, organisation and activities of the Commission are presented. The status and development of Austrian prehistoric research and archaeology in the context of European research are also discussed. The second part is a detailed catalogue of all excavations which took place from 1878 to 1918 and gives a vivid insight into the pioneering days of prehistoric archaeology. Short biographies of researchers and numerous pictures of excavators, excavations and finds documentation complete the image of the Prehistoric Commission, whose forward-thinking members and staff strove to gain insight into the history of mankind and to establish a new scientific discipline. German description: Als vor rund 150 Jahren erste archaologische Aktivitaten von der kaiserlichen Akademie der Wissenschaften (heute OAW) durchgefuhrt wurden, befand sich die prahistorische Archaologie noch auf dem Weg zur eigenstandigen Wissenschaftsdisziplin. Durch die Erforschung der Geschichte der Menschheit, deren hohes Alter gerade erst durch Darwin und die neuesten Erkenntnisse der Geologie bestatigt worden war, kam eine Vielzahl neuer Fragen auf. Die Antworten darauf sollte die Urgeschichtsforschung liefern. Aus diesem Grund regte Ferdinand von Hochstetter (1829-1884), Geologe und Intendant des Naturhistorischen Hofmuseums, an der kaiserlichen Akademie der Wissenschaften die Einsetzung einer Prahistorischen Kommission an, deren Aufgabe es sein sollte, urgeschichtliche Forschungen und Ausgrabungen im osterreichischen Teil der Monarchie zu unternehmen. Hochstetters Idee fiel auf fruchtbaren Boden. Der vorliegende Band stellt zum ersten Mal die Geschichte der Prahistorischen Kommission dar. Von ihrer Grundung im Jahr 1878 bis zum Ende der Habsburger Monarchie 1918 fuhrte die Prahistorische Kommission an uber hundert Fundstellen in Bohmen, Mahren, dem heutigen Osterreich, der Sudsteiermark, Krain, dem Kustenland (Hinterland von Triest, Istrien) und Dalmatien zum Teil mehrere Jahre in Anspruch nehmende Ausgrabungen durch. Damit trug sie nicht nur wesentlich zur Entwicklung der Urgeschichte als eigenstandiges Fach bei, sondern schuf durch ihre aus heutiger Sicht internationale Tatigkeit auch die Grundlage der prahistorischen Forschung fur die Nachfolgestaaten der Monarchie. Diese Erfolgsgeschichte wird anhand von bisher unveroffentlichtem und unbekanntem Archivmaterial dokumentiert. Im ersten Teil des Buches werden Grundung, Organisation und Tatigkeit der Kommission dargestellt und auch Stand und Entwicklung der osterreichischen Urgeschichtsforschung bzw. prahistorischen Archaologie im Kontext der europaischen Forschungslandschaft beleuchtet. Der zweite Teil ist ein ausfuhrlicher Katalog aller von 1878 bis 1918 erfolgten Ausgrabungen, der einen lebendigen Einblick in die Pionierzeit prahistorischer Forschung vermittelt. Kurzbiographien der Ausgraber und zahlreiche Abbildungen von Ausgrabern, Ausgrabungsstatten und Funddokumentationen vervollstandigen das Szenarium der Prahistorischen Kommission, deren Mitglieder und Mitarbeiter sich in weitsichtiger Weise fur die Erforschung der Menschheitsgeschichte und die Etablierung einer neuen Wissenschaftsdisziplin eingesetzt haben.
