ABSTRACT

The objective of post-processual archaeology (Hodder 1985), if one may so suggest, is the same as interpretive anthropology in general, to confront the question of meaning, not meaning in a passive, structuralist sense, but meaning in an active, experiential sense: how we, flesh and blood, two-legged primates make sense, how together we construct a reality in which we, creatures of mindless nature, are.
