Archäologie Weltweit
Archäologie Weltweit ist das Magazin des Deutschen Archäologischen Instituts für eine breite interessierte Öffentlichkeit. Es berichtet zwei Mal im Jahr über die Arbeit des DAI und erzählt darin Geschichten über die Fähigkeit der Archäologie, alte Rätsel zu lösen, aber auch darüber, wie Erkenntnisse über die Antike für Gegenwart und Zukunft nutzbar gemacht werden können – mit oft überraschenden Ergebnissen.

Afrika
Afrika ist derzeit mit vielen Themen medial präsent, etwa in der Diskussion um die Provenienz und Restitution afrikanischer Objekte in europäischen Museen. Die aktuellen Ereignisse sind häufig mit der kolonialen oder vorkolonialen Geschichte des afrikanischen Kontinents verwoben oder haben dort ihren Ausgangspunkt. Doch gerade die vorkoloniale Geschichte ist mit Ausnahmen in Nordafrika bisher wenig bekannt.
Afrika ist daher Thema der neuen Ausgabe von Archäologie Weltweit. Das Heft setzt Schlaglichter aus verschiedenen Projekten des DAI und wirbt dafür, Afrika stärker in den Mittelpunkt des Interesses zu rücken.Archäologie Weltweit 1-2018
Provenienz
Provenienz ist aktuell zu dem zentralen Thema im Umgang mit dem kulturellen Erbe geworden. Für die Archäologie gehört die Erforschung der Herkunft von Objekten hingegen schon immer zum Kerngeschäft. Das Titelthema beschäftigt sich daher mit der Provenienzforschung als hoch komplexer historischer Forschung aus dem speziellen archäologischen Blick heraus. Über den Wert von Scherben erzählt die Rubrik „Alltag Archäologie" und wie Zeichnungen bauforscherischen Ergebnissen Leben einhauchen, erfahren Sie im „Panorama".

Der Wert der Grenze
Wie unterschiedlich Grenzen wirken, je nachdem aus welcher Entfernung man sie betrachtet, wie verschieden auch ihre Wirkung - oder Wirkungslosigkeit - sein kann, zeigt das Titelthema dieser Ausgabe von Archäologie Weltweit. Schier grenzenlos scheint die Arbeit des Friedrich Hinkel Archivs zum Sudan, einem der umfangreichsten und ungewöhnlichsten Archive des DAI zu sein, nachzulesen in "Alltag Archäologie". Und dass die Baustellenlogistik der Antike häufig weit weniger an Grenzen stieß, als das heute gelegentlich der Fall ist, erklärt unser "Fokus".

Decision Making
I this issue we take a look at the diversity of decision making processes possible in the ancient world. How lengthy and involved decision-making processes in various research projects can be is illustrated by a feature on a project in Morocco in the section "Everyday Archaeology". And how archaeologists' decisions can be made in conformity with the preferences of people in our host countries can be seen in a report on the rescue of a monument in ethiopia in the section "Cultural Heritage".

Die Neue Bauakademie
Megacities sind zu zentralen Herausforderungen unserer Zeit geworden. Das stete Wachsen einiger Städte und die Entvölkerung ehemaliger Industriestädte machen die Stadt zu einem Ort, an dem in großer Dynamik soziale und kulturelle Veränderungen wirksam werden. Deshalb braucht es Denkräume, um die nicht selten separat agierenden Disziplinen und Experten zum Thema zusammenzubringen. Die in diesem Heft skizzierten Perspektiven sollen die Diskussion um den Wiederaufbau der Bauakademie bereichern und für einen Ort werben, der sich diesen zentralen Themen ganz im Sinne Schinkels in einem ganzheitlichen Ansatz nähert.

Surveying the Ancient World
In this issue, our Cover Story illustrates how the collaboration between archaeology and the natural sciences can function. And how international cooperation specifically can lead to ground-breaking results is shown in the Cultural Heritage section with a feature on Chinese-German activities at the Sacred Pond Pavilion in the Forbidden City, Beijing. The Panorama section proves the point that authors of archaeological manuscripts should never give up hope. It can happen that they get published 90 years after submission.

On the Move
"On the Move" is the cover story in this issue of our magazine. Starting out with Neolithic journeys, it goes on to look at Greek sanctuaries with an international clientele, the Roman Empire shortly before its transformation into the medieval world, ports on various continents, and it ends with a voyage to the far-off South Pacific. In Focus this time is a recently founded archaeological heritage network that shows how current transformative movements can be an occasion to meditate on common origins and can promote cooperation. Our Panorama feature meanwhile reports on an indispensable human activity and the part it has played in the lives of all of us for 40,000 years now: music.Archaeology Worldwide Special Issue 2016
Reconstruction. A network for archaeological cultural heritage
The Archaeological Heritage Network (ArcHerNet) brings together German expertise in the field of cultural preservation and cultural heritage protection. The objective is to make this expertise available for cultural preservation projects in other countries too. The first such project to be implemented by the ArcHerNet, with the support of the Foreign Office, is "Stunde Null" ("zero hour"), aimed at developing a viable future for the time after the crisis in countries that are riven by conflict. Learn more about ArcHerNet in this special issue of Archaeology Worldwide!

The Gift
Gift-giving in all its facets is the general theme of this issue of Archaeology Worldwide. Everyday Archaeology takes a look at a programme being developed over several years whereby Iraqi and German scholars work and learn together. In the Cultural Heritage section we go inside Iranian archives, and in the Landscape feature we look down from dizzying heights.

Fundamente. Zivilgesellschaftliches Engagement für die Archäologie
Ohne das unermüdliche Engagement von Stiftungen, Freundeskreisen und Privatpersonen ist heute keine wissenschaftliche Arbeit mehr denkbar. Die Sonderausgabe gibt aber auch einen Einblick in die Geschichte privaten Engagements seit den Anfängen des Instituts im 19.Jahrhundert und zeigt, dass die Archäologie ein Feld mit vielen Facetten ist, die man unterstützen kann.

The review process. A wider perspective on international culture and education policy
The special edition of Archaeology Worldwide reports on DAI's active involvement in the review process of the Federal Foreign Office. The process titled "Außenpolitik Weiter Denken" ("A wider perspective on foreign policy") was initiated in December 2013 by the German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier. As the "third pillar" of German foreign policy, foreign culture and education policy plays a key part in this initiative. Current political developments, including the situation in the Middle East, lend this process great urgency, particularly in the realms of cultural preservation and the protection of cultural goods.
