Someone i think is very worthwhile to study and promote is Gustof Kossinna (1858-1931) along with his method of settlement archaeology.
Kossinna and his discoveries became either ignored or ridiculed by mainstream academics after WW2 for political reasons.
With modern methods of archeological DNA testing mainstream academics have been forced to recognize the validity of his Settlement method.
Settlement archaeology is the science of determining the race of any given people within a settlement by examining the craftsmanship and artistic expression of the artifacts found alongside the inhabitants of a settlement.
This being acknowledged as a valid science by mainstream academics is important because it gives confirmation to the idea of the folk soul also referred to as the biospirit.
A understanding that culture is not something external that can be adopted but rather is internal and genetically inherent in any given racial group of people.
