Abstract

In this article we put forward an alternative account of the famous wristguards, or bracers, of the European Early Bronze Age. Combining new materialism with empirical microwear analysis, we study 15 examples from Britain in detail and suggest a different way of conceptualizing these objects. Rather than demanding they have a singular function, we treat these objects as ‘multiplicities’ and as always in process. This, in turn, has significant implications for the important archaeological concepts of typology and object biography and our understandings of material culture more widely.

从类型学、传记学到多样性:作为“过程对象”的支架

在这篇文章中，我们对欧洲青铜时代早期著名的护腕或护腕提出了另一种说法。将新唯物主义与实证微观磨损分析相结合，我们详细研究了来自英国的15个例子，并提出了一种不同的概念化方法。我们没有要求它们具有奇异函数，而是将这些对象视为“多重性”，并且始终处于过程中。这反过来又对类型学和实物传记的重要考古概念以及我们对物质文化的更广泛理解具有重要意义。
