Editor’s Notes: On historical relativity in archaeology
George P. Nicholas
British archaeologist Jacquetta Hawkes’ now-famous statement that “each generation gets the Stonehenge it deserves—or desires” (1967: 174) encapsulates the contextualized nature of archaeological inquiry and its relation to the values of its day—whenever that time was or is. Since “the present” is something always in motion, so too is our point of reference. As novelist William Gibson has noted, “I only know that the one constant in history is change.” The past changes. Our version of the past will interest the future to about the extent we’re interested in whatever past the Victorians believed in. It simply won’t seem very relevant (2003: 57). This essay is concerned with the degree to which “our version of the past” may reflect contemporary social trends, rather then being a completely objective (i.e., value-free) endeavor.PDF |
