Archaeology and Intentionality: Understanding Ethics and Freedom in Past and Present Societies Ribeiro Artur
Archaeology and Intentionality explores perhaps one of the most overlooked topics in archaeology, that of intentionality. In general, this book presents a strong framework for archaeological research, one that fits to current archaeological practices and research around the world. In archaeology, most explanations of human behaviour rely on intentionality, and this book fills a surprising gap in the literature.By identifying the historical trajectory of the notion of intentionality, this book reframes our understanding of what it means to act intentionally and how archaeologists provide explanations concerning past (and present) societies.
This framework considers that past actors were not unconditional free agents, who could act however they wished, nor were they absolute prisoners of the economic, biological, and environmental circumstances in which they lived.
