Time, process, and structured transformation in archaeology

Authors:Sander Ernst van der Leeuw, James McGlade

Summary:Is 'chaos theory' relevant to archaeology? In a discipline which essentially studies how human beings came to be, it is remarkable that there are hardly any conceptual tools to describe change. The western intellectual and scientific tradition has for a long time favoured mechanics over dynamics, and the study of stability, over that of change. In the case of archaeology, change has been primarily viewed in terms of external climatic and 'environmental' events
