Synopsis

This first ever English translation of any work by Gustaf Kossinna is of the second and final edition of Kossinna's seminal 1911 opus which established Kossinna's Law: “sharply delimited archaeological cultural provinces coincide at all times with very specific ethnic groups or ethnic tribes.”

Kossinna introduces his settlement archaeological method, defends it against contemporary detractors, and then provides an example of its application by tracing of the origin of the Germanics, taking the reader on an archaeological voyage back through time and into the deep prehistory of Northern and Central Europe.

Included are 9 maps and a detailed table, all of which had been added to or reworked for this edition, and which have been carefully digitally processed and feature English text formed from the original lettering.
