Alfred Dieck (4 April 1906 in Schönebeck – 7 January 1989 in Bremen) was a German archaeologist internationally recognised for the scientific studies on bog bodies and bog finds. Since the early 1990s the results of his scientific work has been recently critically reviewed and found to be wrong in major parts.〔See chapter: The Alfred Dieck problem〕 == Biography == Alfred Dieck was born in Bad Salzelmen, a suburb of Schönebeck near the Elberiver. After he graduated school he studied theology and in 1934 he changed to prehistory and anthropology and ethnography at the Martin-Luther-University of Halle-Wittenberg where he finished with the degree of a doctor in 1939. During World War II he was injured and returned from American imprisonment as an invalid. Both, his thesis and most of his scientific records were lost during the war. For several years he was unemployed, living in the region Bad Reichenhall and Salzburg, being the voluntary director of the ''International Turf Museum'' at Bad Wimsbach-Neydharting in Austria. Later he was employed by the German state of Lower-Saxony. For more than 50 years Alfred Dieck worked on his archaeological bog body finds and ethnographic studies. He collected records about bog finds from archives, museums and personal conversations with people who found bog finds and their relatives. He also collected specimens and samples of hairs and clothing from European bog bodies and published more than 180 articles about ethnographic studies, bog bodies and bog finds. For many years he had been internationally recognised as one of the most reputable scientist in this field.〔.〕 Dieck has put a new view of sight on the interpretation of bog body finds not only being a small regional and cultural phenomena. It has been believed that bog bodies are a phenomenon of Northern Europe: Ireland, the British Islands, Denmark, Northern Germany and the Netherlands only and that most of the finds are dating to the Iron Age period only some hundred years BC and AD. Dieck clearly stated out that the earliest bog body finds dating to Mesolithic periods and the youngest to the World War II. He also stated out that there are also finds known from Norway, Sweden, southern Germany and many other regions as well. Alfred Dieck died 1989 in Bremen. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alfred Dieck」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
