The archaeology of the absurd: comments on "cultural materialims, split inheritance, and the expansion of ancient peruvian empires". Allison C. Paulsen

Por: Paulsen, Allison CTipo de material: ArtículoArtículoIdioma: Inglés Series American Antiquity. Journal of the Society for American Archaeology ; no.1Detalles de publicación: Estados Unidos-US : Society for American Archaeology, 1981Descripción: páginas 31-37: ilustraciones blanco y negroTema(s): ARQUEOLOGIA | SOCIOLOGIA | MATERIALISMO CULTURAL En: Society for American Archaeology American Antiquity. Journal of the Society for American ArchaeologyResumen: Conrad´s discussion bears little relation to the generally accepted outline of Peruvian prehistory. He presents evidence that is not evidence in support of a weak and untestable hypothesis. Since he is apparently unacquainted with a substantial body of recent and current research, he has launched superficial and absurd criticisms at the proposition that changes in climate are reflected in changes in human society and culture. Not only is this theory substantiated by a growing number of independnet studies, but ironically enough conrad joins their ranks by supporting my hypothesis about climate and culture in late prehistoric Andean cultures. His shallow arguments opposing cultural materialism do not deal with issues and are far from convincing. Altogether his work appears to belong to a belong a previously unidentified archaeological specialty, the Archaeology of the Absurd.
