- Rechtswidrige Denkmalpflege is the culmination of ca. 10 years of research into unlawful practices in archaeological heritage management, mainly in Austria (and to a lesser extent in Germany). This included a historical analysis of the development of the relevant laws, the epistemological and archaeological reasons for the approach chosen in them, their unsuitability in present conditions, and the development of a proposal for their fundamental revision. At c. 230,000 words, it is a longer-form output based on extended research of complex primary sources which partly had to be generated by bringing test cases in appellate court.

- English abstract
- This book examines the legal limitations for archaeological fieldwork permits and how different state or national heritage agencies misapply their respective heritage laws to subject archaeological field research to an illegal state permit regime. It discusses various aspects of - in particular Austrian - heritage protection legislation and the problems caused by its repeated revision, which lead to inefficient and sometimes unlawful and unconstitutional heritage management practice. The book concludes with suggestions for changes that should solve the problems identified in this study, and create a more effective and modern system of preventative archaeological heritage management in Austria.
