摘要

现代科学观与过程学派和后过程学派所采用的狭隘刻板印象有很大的不同。一旦我们将这门学科的目标与其社会实践分开，考古学就符合这种更广泛的观点。我们的基本目标——提高对过去的认识——要求我们评估相互竞争的理论。按照现代科学方法，我们可以通过使用放大标准进行评估。此外，由于人类的原因导致行为规律，我们需要研究史前的价值观和理想。我们可以用自然科学家研究不可观察事物的同样方式来研究这些认知方面，即通过它们的物质效应。

BEYOND DATA: THE AIM AND PRACTICE OF ARCHAEOLOGY

The modern view of science differs significantly from the narrow stereotype adopted by Processual and Post-Processual schools. Archaeology conforms to this wider view once we separate the aim of the disciplinefrom its social practice. Our basic aim-to improve knowledge about the past-requires that we evaluate competing theories. Following modern scientific methodology, we can evaluate through the use of ampliative criteria. Furthermore, because human reasons cause behavioural regularities, we need to study prehistoric values and ideals. We can study such cognitive aspects in the same way as natural scientists study unobservables, that is, through their material effects.
