In the 19th century, the concept of descent receives a revaluation. This goes far beyond the original meaning within the Neolithic societies, which manifested their claims to land use and ownership through elaborate grave constructions. From the middle of the 19th century onwards, the megalithic tombs were not only recognized as historical sources, but also stylized as 'patriotic antiquities' to the tombs of the ancestors and thus became an integral part of national history of origin. This is in contrast to the prehistoric significance, especially since it is also a matter of social status, prestige, privileges and rankings, but also of family spirit, friendship and neighborhood as the basis of territorial claim, since the values and norms behind them are now supposed to provide social cohesion in the emerging industrialized mass societies.

AIM of the STUDY. A qualitative and quantitative study of the influence of archaeology on western civilization as recorded in contemporary media, i.e. as pictures or mention of archaeologists and/or prehistoric Man in scientific publications, adverts, art, the press, books, films, and comics.
RESULTS. Archaeology is seen as one of the factors that helps to shape the modern age, whose development is very closely related to the emergence of the economic thinking and social structures that characterise western civilization. Images of the archaeologist and prehistoric Man, in view of their many-faceted treatment by contemporary western society, basically reflect the values and norms of western societies.
METHODS. Taking images of the archaeologist and prehistoric Man portrayed in the various media, it is possible to demonstrate the integrating effect (e.g. national identity) that archaeological research has had and still has on western societies.
THESIS. Acceptance of the results of archaeological research constitutes a very specific portion of western perception of space and time and helps to provide a framework for present-day human behaviour, which is primarily based on ideas of progress and evolution.
SOCIAL FUNCTION. Images of the archaeologist and prehistoric Man are apparently used as a social inspiration (Leitbild), whose integrative potential is concerned with the search for an identity at all levels, a process that is based on the past but concerns the future. In the western world, this process is rooted in the historisation of the landscape (which is part of the processes of secularisation and laizism). The western quest after origins is seen as a consequence of this. Since this quest hangs together with a certain legitimatisation of one’s own society, it is invariably politically tinted (e.g. national archaeology, Marxism etc.) and even sometimes transcendental (Druid cult, biblical archaeology, New Age, etc.).
SOCIAL INSPIRATION. With the help of a social inspiration (Leitbild) based on archaeology, social constraints can be removed and make social relations and communication more flexible, particularly at the present time when western society as a whole is disintegrating. Against the background of acceleration of the process of differentiation in western society, inspiration has its effect on both the national and international levels. With its help the increasingly unstable social structure can be adequately explained, since in a globalised world social hierarchy in the western world is becoming based on evolutionary biology, geology and archaeology instead of religious beliefs. The popular modern argument in this connection is the principle of unequal equality, which is based on progress-oriented thinking. The social consequence of this thinking is expressed as the dogma of inequality.

archaeology itself: The tasks and interests of archaeological heritage management are not per se congruent with the tasks and interests
of archaeological field research or archaeological research. The internal relationship, which is already not uncomplicated in advance, is
further strained by sometimes fierce attacks against the archaeological heritage management authorities, claiming that they hinder the
freedom of research. In this context, regulations on heritage law, which are the product of democratic decision-making, are criticised on the
basis of a practical understanding that fails to recognise their significance. The aim of this article is to consider the relationship between
archaeological heritage management and archaeological (field) research on the basis of the current professional and legal framework and
thus to contribute to the objectification of the discussion.

Fakt ist, dass sich in Bereichen, in denen angeblich authentische Darstellungen von Wikingern eine Rolle spielen, Rechtsextreme mit ihren Wertvorstellungen viele Anknüpfungspunkte finden. Hier können sie ihre ideologischen Botschaften hinter historisierenden Ausstattungen und Symboliken verbergen. Dies geschieht im Umfeld von Reenactment und diversen Wikinger -, Mittelalter oder Musikfestivals, im Vikingrock und Paganmetal oder in neopagenen religiösen Gruppen – die Grenzen zwischen wissenschaftlich nachweisbarer Realität, folkloristischer Aufbereitung und politischer Pose verschwimmen immer wieder.
Ob Rituale, Runen, Musik oder Kleidung – Wikingermotive und Mythen dienen der extremen und neuen Rechten als Fundamente für eine Identitätsproduktion, die immer noch in der „Blut und Boden“ Ideologie verankert ist.
Die Fachtagung will aus multidisziplinärer Perspektive mit Expert_innen aus Theorie und Praxis den Verbindungslinien von Wikingerkult und Rechtsextremismus nachgehe
Der denkmalpflegerische Alltag sieht allerdings anders aus. So sieht das Baurecht eine öffentliche und eine fachliche Beteiligung vor. Das Verwaltungsrecht ermöglicht Maßnahmen zur Durchsetzung des Denkmalschutzes. Das Denkmalschutzgesetz regelt Forschung, Zugang zu Forschungsressourcen usw., aber auch das bürgerschaftliche Engagement (Denkmalrat, Denkmalbeiräte, Vertrauensleute). Darüber hinaus gelten die entsprechenden Regelungen des Arbeitsrechtes, Arbeitsschutzes, Teilzeit- und Befristungsgesetzes usw. Die finanzielle Steuerung erfolgt über die Haushaltsgesetzgebung und so weiter und so fort. Grundlage von Teilhabe sind jeweils die rechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen und deren demokratische Legitimierung.
Die Auseinandersetzung um die heutigen fachlich-organisatorische Rahmenbedingungen prägen fachliche, administrative und rechtliche Rahmenbedingungen. Die sich dahinter versteckende Diskussion setzt zunächst im frühen 19. Jahrhundert in den Geschichtswissenschaften und zeitlich versetzt, später auch die archäologischen Disziplinen ein. Verwissenschaftlichung trifft auf Professionalisierung. Spezialisierung führt zu Differenzierung und zu Neudefinition von Fachlichkeit und Teilhabe. Die archäologische Praxis wird von Institutionalisierungsprozessen und deren gesellschaftlichen Akzeptanz getragen.
Am Beispiel der in Schleswig-Holstein verfolgten planungsorientierten archäologischen Denkmalpflege und den sie tragenden Pilotprojekten Lancewad, LancewadPlan, Regiobranding, BalticRim sollen der organisatorische Zusammenhang der Themen Bürgerbeteiligung, Forschung, öffentliches Interesse aus einer innovationsgeschichtlich verankerten fachgeschichtlichen Perspektive vorgestellt und eingeordnet werden.
Both aspects mentioned in the title, which are in the focus of the planned workshop, were set out by Bertil Ålmgren in his research historical retrospection concentrating on the 1960ies as central motif which eventually helped Hans Hildebrand and Oscar Montelius, on order by Bror Hildebrand, to sort the prehistoric antiquities of the prehistoric museum of Stockholm according to a comprehensible methodology. Almost 150 years of intense research and of exponential growth of finds has changed little for these two objectives. Which potential provide the systematic registration of (not only) Iron Age finds? Where are the (practical) limits of an archaeological register? And last, but not least, how can new media help bridging theoretical and practical problems?
The first part „(…) a completely amorphous mass of finds (…)” approaches the issue of an archaeological register and the connected system from a theoretical, research-historical but also practical and heritage management orientated point of view in order to close in on the topic. Karl Kersten as the main actor in the early archaeological research in Schleswig-Holstein still aspired to a complete register of e.g. Iron Age finds until about the end of the 1970ies and the early 1980ies, but challenges have shifted since. The past few decades also witnessed besides a chronological spreading of the archaeological field of work (from the Paleolithic till contemporary archaeology) considerable emergence of the field of work data and thus to a massive engagement of resources. As a consequence of this an exponential growth of finds challenges both, the archaeological heritage conservation and the processing in museums, and affects further the research by diverse universities and not university based research institutions.
What should be and what has to be collected? In order to answer these questions the state archaeological heritage management has aspired to practical solutions, as our precursors did in late 90th century.
The present concept will be presented in the second section „(…) to be sorted according to an ultimately practical principle (…)”. The approach is to be seen before the backdrop of various practical constraints. On the one hand there is a massive increase of metal finds, not at least because of the work with metal detectors following the so called Schleswig model. On the other hand this material has to be secured and registered by the State Archaeological Department and the State Archaeological Museum. All this is supposed to be managed in an effective and work and time saving way also considering that the results should be available for research. The approach will be explained using the example of the Iron Age finds procured by the use of metal detectors in order to examine the suitability for daily use as well as the impacts on possible research problems.
Im Rahmen dieses Vortrages soll der derzeitige Arbeitsrahmen des ALSH vor dem Hintergrund seiner fachlichen Genese und mit Blick auf Umsetzung des neuen Gesetzesrahmen vorgestellt werden. Der derzeitige Arbeitsrahmen orientiert sich an unterschiedlichen fachlichen Veränderungen im Bereich der archäologischen Forschung und der denkmalpflegerischen Praxis. D.h. unsere Vergangenheit wird nicht nur bunter, sondern der Arbeitsrahmen reicht von der ersten Besiedlung Nordeuropas durch den Neandertaler bis in die Zeit des Kalten Krieges. Dieses führt zu einer wachsenden Zahl an archäologischen Denkmalen, deren Belang im Rahmen eines Denkmalpflegemanagements sehr früh in die Raumplanung eingebracht werden und zur regionalen Inwertsetzung genutzt werden soll. Dabei kann das ALSH auf ein breites ehrenamtliches Partnerfeld zurückgreifen, dass von den Vertrauensleuten, über die traditionellen Sammler bis hin zu den Detektorgängern läuft. Um dieses alles bewältigen zu können, hat das ALSH seine viergliedrige Struktur beibehalten. Neben der Verwaltung stehen der Denkmalschutz, die Raumplanung und die jetzt drei Gebietsdezernate umfassende praktische Archäologie.
