Abstract
ions of the world they observed, they also gained greater recognition through the replicability of those abstractions in other situations. If it would be overly reductive to argue that archaeologists as consumers of borrowed theory entered into a pyramid scheme that ultimately produced diminishing returns, then it would be equally one-sided to suggest strong theory only led to redundancy. Rather, the key Theory Above? Theory Alongside? 93
期刊介绍:
Norwegian Archaeological Review published since 1968, aims to be an interface between archaeological research in the Nordic countries and global archaeological trends, a meeting ground for current discussion of theoretical and methodical problems on an international scientific level. The main focus is on the European area, but discussions based upon results from other parts of the world are also welcomed. The comments of specialists, along with the author"s reply, are given as an addendum to selected articles. The Journal is also receptive to uninvited opinions and comments on a wider scope of archaeological themes, e.g. articles in Norwegian Archaeological Review or other journals, monographies, conferences.
