History and Profiling of the Subject
The subject has a long tradition in Halle, dating back to the appointment of Friederich Karl Hermann Kruse as associate professor in 1821, whose research was focused on the study of ancient archaeological monuments. The traditional focus on prehistory and early history was expanded in 2004 by the establishment of a chair for the archaeology of the Middle Ages and the Modern Age. The subject is represented in its full thematic breadth and encompasses Neolithic research, more recent research areas such as ring ditch research, settlement archaeology as well as related research areas such as astronomy.
