Old talk[edit]

If merged, the entry should remain titled "Cultural History". This is a significant area of study, significant enough to have a page of its own. I am not familiar enough with archaeology to say if it should remain as its own page. Nimby 17:58, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed - cultural history should have its own page - or at least be merged with History! Mjs110

Cultural history should NOT be merged with culture-history archaeology. In archaeology, culture history refers to a paradigm in the history of the discipline (late 19th-mid20th century, between Antiquarianism and Processual Archaeology). This meaning is completely unrelated to the other definition of cultural history. The name of the archaeology entry could be changed to "culture-historical archaeology" or "culture history", but combining it with "cultural history" makes no sense.

The name of the "culture-history archaeology" page would more accurately titled "cultural-historical archaeology". Cultural history should NOT be merged with cultural-historical archaeology. Cultural-historical archaeology is the term used to describe a theoretical approach that archaeologists from western culture traditions adopted in the late 19th - mid 20th centuries. In the United States the cultural-historical paradigm focused on the archaeological culture rather than on developmental stages of cultures, as the previous cultural evolution paradigm had. 168.103.165.246 22:21, 7 February 2007 (UTC) An American Archaeologist[reply]

the american archaeologist is absolutely right! culture-history archaeology should be re-named and both pages should most definitely not be merged. Cultural History is in History a reaction against the ways scientists like cultural- historical archaeologist thought.Bobenkate 15:12, 25 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Kulturgeschichte[edit]

I'm not sure why "RepublicanJacobite" can't grasp my point, but the assertion that cultural history is "(from the German term Kulturgeschichte)" is nonsense and should be deleted. 152.1.191.173 (talk) 18:05, 6 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The deletion of material, with a very vague edit summary, is bad form. That is why we have this talk page, so that discussion can occur and a decision can be reached. Your approach, though, is not constructive. ---RepublicanJacobiteThe'FortyFive' 18:09, 6 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Seemed pretty constructive to me! 152.1.191.173 (talk) 18:19, 6 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
