ABSTRACT
The time concept of modern archaeology, and modern anthropology in general, resembles the general cosmological-historical time concept of Europe’s JudeoChristian culture. Differing from the cyclical cosmological-historical time concepts of the early Greeks in Europe, and the Indians and others in Asia, the Judeo-Christian cosmological-historical time concept is linear and progressive. Modern archaeology also shares with Judeo-Christian theology the idea that humans appear after the other major species.
