3. Germany's Ancient Pasts: Archaeology and Historical Interpretation since 1700.

Author

Moormann, Eric M.

Subjects
HISTORICAL archaeology, MOUNDS (Archaeology), MURAL art, WORLD War I, ANTHROPOMETRY
Abstract

I only dislike the term "domestic archaeology" as applied to the discipline in Germany, since "domestic", in current-day archaeology, usually implies a connection to household and family structures. In archaeology, Gustaf Kossinna advocated prehistory as a nationalist research agenda and an instrument to promote Germans as a superior race thanks to their material culture. In I Germany's Ancient Pasts i , Brent Maner explores antiquarian and archaeological research in (what would become) Germany from the eighteenth century on. [Extracted from the article]

Roden, Christian T.

Subjects
*INDUSTRIAL designers, *INDUSTRIAL design, *OCEAN liners, *ANTHROPOMETRY, *SHIPBUILDING
Abstract

Henry Dreyfuss designed six ocean liners for John Slater at American Export Lines (AEL) from 1944 to 1951 using innovative techniques to facilitate collaboration with maritime engineers at Bethlehem Steel Shipbuilding Division and shipyard personnel. A leading industrial designer of the twentieth century, he applied anthropometry (later termed ergonomics), as well as experience designing trains and airplanes, to achieve workable solutions to problems of ocean liner construction, organization, maintenance, and livability. The resultant convertible midcentury interiors accommodated a variety of day- and nighttime uses by passengers across the economic spectrum, making AEL competitive in the postwar transatlantic transportation market.
