In historical studies, »deep history« means going back far behind Greek antiquity and even the first written cultures: right up to the early development of mankind. Can intellectual history follow this preponement? Using the example of the reconstruction of early legal thinking, this essay outlines how a research program can be developed that discovers early imprints which only later crystallize in terms and theories. It should do so by a combination of linguistic reconstruction and the expansion of the history of concepts to include the history of symbolic forms, integrating even cognitive archeology, body history and archeogenetics.
