Do Cultural Explanations of the past Have a Future?
Do Cultural Explanations of the past Have a Future? is a scholarly work, published in 1982 in ''North American Archaeologist''. The main subjects of the publication include history, sociology, archaeological theory, epistemology, prehistoric archaeology, human evolution, material culture, conflict archaeology, anthropology, historical archaeology, archaeology, ideology, and radiocarbon dating. Attempts to understand the use of culture concepts in modern archaeological theory are worthwhile, for they not only show future directions of theory development, but also question the connection between archaeology and anthropology.
