“Self-reflexive turn to ontological debates in archaeology”
Abstract
The paper provides a short overview of the archaeological approaches
closely related to the so-called “ontological turn.” It is argued that the alleged reorientation
of archaeological theory from epistemology to ontology, broadly referred
to as the “ontological turn” strikingly mirrors the political, technological,
and environmental issues and context of the contemporary world, and for that
reason, its relevance in archaeological research of the past must be deeply, selfreflexively
reconsidered.
