Archaeology Major Essay
ARCO1001 - Civilisations of the Ancient World
1 Found helpful • 7 Pages • Essays / Projects • Year: Pre-2021 • Previously uploaded under: ARCA1001 - Ancient Civilisations
Ancient civilizations were complex and expansive. As such, numerous different ways to approach, study and interpret archaeological findings have been developed. These different perspectives and lenses through which archaeologists view and make sense of the archaeological record are referred to as archaeological theory. There are several theories or paradigms which archaeologists may adopt, two of which will be examined in this paper – Culture-historical and Processual. This essay aims to highlight the present-day relevance of the Processual archaeological approach by contrasting its key characteristics with a preceding paradigm, the Culture-Historical approach. In this paper it is argued that the Processual theoretical approach is still relevant in archaeology today as it offers a variety of merits, however, it should not be the only lens through which archaeologists view data.
