In 1809 a small band of men tried unsuccessfully to overthrow the French occupation forces in Marburg, a provincial university city in what is now the state of Hessen, in Germany. They were imprisoned, tried, and executed. Approximately 100 years later, a monument was erected in the city in their honor. Our project asked why this monument appeared when it did, which social groups were involved in its creation, and what role the monument played in the landscape of historical commemoration in the city. Building on what is now a vast literature in German history on the “history of memory,” we asked what role did this story and its commemoration play in the construction of local and national identity in the region. We did our research in Marburg in the state archives and university library using primary source documents, such as newspaper articles, city records, and the papers of the regional and local historical Hessen society. We found that the memory of other historical developments played a more prominent role in historical consciousness and local identity of the elite of the city (such as the history of St. Elizabeth, the prominence of the.

Often, the essays in Selective Remembrances reveal, they turn to archaeology, employing the field and its findings to develop nationalistic feelings and forge legitimate distinctive national identities.Examining such relatively new or reconfigured nation-states as Iran, Iraq, Turkey, Israel, Russia, Ukraine, India, and Thailand, Selective Remembrances shows how states invoke the remote past to extol the glories of specific peoples or prove claims to ancestral homelands. Religion has long played a key role in such efforts, and the contributors take care to demonstrate the tendency of many people, including archaeologists themselves, to view the world through a religious lens—which can be exploited by new regimes to suppress objective study of the past and justify contemporary political actions. The wide geographic and intellectual range of the essays in Selective Remembrances will make it a seminal text for archaeologists and historians.
