The German Archaeological Institute has decided to work towards greater thematic cross-linking between the various research projects which it conducts around the world and which are set out in the DAI research plan (PDF 2,2 MB). In view of the fact that the Departments and Commissions of the DAI tend to research very similar issues in their projects in various cultural regions of the Old and New World, we felt that it made sense to investigate certain phenomena in a comparative manner in the hope of arriving at a deeper understanding of the mechanisms underlying cultural processes and historical developments in early human history. The prospect of pursuing this objective on a global scale was particularly appealing. While the main focus of the Institute's work has traditionally lain on the Mediterranean region and the Near East, the projects undertaken more frequently in recent years in the Eurasian steppe, East Asia, on the African continent and in Latin America afford an excellent opportunity to gain a worldwide perspective. This opportunity is not to be missed.
