Towards another archaeology. Ten proposals
Keywords:

Abstract
Archaeological theory has changed noticeably during the last decade. Many of the basic premises of both post-processual and processual archaeology are no longer defended by many archaeologists, but few theories have been proposed that are ambitious and consistent enough to replace the former paradigms. We are thus living in a state of paradigmatic vagueness and transition. In this article, I propose an analysis of the critical elements at play in this transitional moment and suggest new paths to make the discipline more scientific and socially relevant.Downloads
