Hans Dragendorff was a German scholar who introduced the first classification system for the type of Ancient Roman pottery known as Samian ware or Terra Sigillata, in 1896, using type numbers. His scheme was based on the varying forms the vessels took and although it has since been augmented and refined by others, it is still common to refer to 'Dragendorff type 37' bowls for example.

  • Hans Dragendorff was a German scholar who introduced the first classification system for the type of Ancient Roman pottery known as Samian ware or Terra Sigillata, in 1896, using type numbers. His scheme was based on the varying forms the vessels took and although it has since been augmented and refined by others, it is still common to refer to 'Dragendorff type 37' bowls for example. Dragendorff studied in Dorpat, Berlin and Bonn with Georg Loeschcke and received his doctorate in 1894 for his work on Terra Sigillata. He held an extraordinary chair in Basel till 1902, when he became director of the newly founded "Römisch-Germanische Kommission" (RGK) of the 'Deutsches Archäologisches Institut' (DAI), a post which he held till 1911. 1911-1922 he was secretary general of the DAI. In 1922, he got a chair in Freiburg, a post he held till 1933. Dragendorff was member of the DAI (1901, corresponding member since 1898), member of the directorial board of the DAI from 1931-1941, member of the RGK 1902-1941, member of the Prussian Academy of Sciences (1916) and the Society of Antiquities of London (1933).
  • Hans Dragendorff war klassischer und provinzialrömischer Archäologe. Er studierte in Dorpat, Berlin und schließlich in Bonn bei Georg Loeschcke, wo er 1894 über die römische Terra Sigillata ("De vasculis Romanorum rubris capita selecta") promovierte . Diese Arbeit wurde 1896 in den Bonner Jahrbüchern gedruckt und ist bis heute maßgeblich für die Benennung und Klassifikation römischer Terra Sigillata. Dragendorff erhielt, nachdem er 1896 das Reisestipendium des Deutschen Archäologischen Instituts erhalten hatte, im Jahr 1898 ein Extraordinariat für Klassische Archäologie in Basel. 1902 wurde er Direktor der Römisch-Germanischen Kommission in Frankfurt. 1911-1922 war er Präsident des Deutschen Archäologischen Instituts. 1922 erhielt er einen Ruf nach Freiburg, wo er bis 1933 Klassische Archäologie lehrte. 1939 übernahm er erneut die Leitung der RGK in Frankfurt, nachdem der damalige Inhaber Gerhard Bersu 1935 aus dem Amt getrieben worden war.
