Archaeological theory documents

Archaeological theory documents are scholarly works that outline the ideas and frameworks used by archaeologists to interpret past human behaviors and cultures through material remains. These theories help researchers understand patterns in artifacts, structures, and landscapes, providing insights into how societies functioned, interacted, and evolved over time. They can include various perspectives, such as cultural, structural, or processual approaches, each offering different explanations for archaeological findings. Ultimately, these documents contribute to a deeper understanding of human history and enrich our knowledge of how ancient people lived.
