This article is concerned with personal heritage and the role of material things in the construction of place-attachment. My interest lies in interrogating my own sense of place-attachment (or belonging) to my home. I argue that personal experience can provide comparative information for investigating other peoples’ experiences of their ‘special places’. That is, by critically reflecting on my own connectivity to place I aim to gain a base-level of data that informs my understandings of other peoples’ experiences of place; that is, the social values of heritage places and/or archaeological sites. I argue that self-awareness and reflexivity are important tools in the work of archaeologists who seek to recognise and respect personal and communal place-attachments.

体验的地方：挖掘和归属的民族志

本文涉及个人遗产和物质事物在场所附属建筑中的作用。我的兴趣在于询问自己对房屋的归属感（或归属感）。我认为，个人经验可以提供比较信息，以调查其他人在“特殊地方”的经历。也就是说，通过批判性地思考自己与地方的联系，我的目标是获得基础数据，以使我了解其他人的地方体验。也就是说，遗产地和/或考古遗址的社会价值。我认为自我意识和反身性是考古学家工作的重要工具，他们致力于认识和尊重个人和公共场所的附属物。
