In this paper we propose the conceptual framework of theassemblage of practiceas an effective middle-range heuristic tool that bridges deep theory and the data available to archaeologists. Our framework foregrounds vibrantthingsas opposed to staticobjects, and sympathetically articulates the current concepts ofentanglement,correspondenceandassemblage. To us anassemblage of practiceis a dynamic gathering of corresponding things entangled through situated daily and eventful human practice. Once reassembled by comprehensively and critically marshalling all the evidentiary lines available to archaeologists today, theassemblage of practicebecomes a powerful analytical tool that illuminates changes, continuities and transformations in human–thing entanglements, and not only their impacts on local and short-term sociocultural developments, but also their repercussions on phenomena of much larger spatiotemporal scale. Our goal is to present archaeologists with a pluralistic, integrative and evolving middle-range framework that pays close attention to terminological precision and theoretical clarity and is conceptually accessible and widely applicable.

实践组合。探索考古学中人与物关系的概念框架

在本文中，我们提出了概念框架实践组合作为一种有效的中程启发式工具，它将深层理论和考古学家可用的数据联系起来。我们的框架前景充满活力事物与静态相反对象，并富有同情心地表达了当前的概念纠缠,一致和装配. 对我们来说实践组合是通过日常和多事的人类实践纠缠的相应事物的动态聚集。一旦通过全面和批判性地整理今天考古学家可用的所有证据线重新组装，实践组合成为一个强大的分析工具，它阐明了人类与事物纠缠的变化、连续性和转变，不仅是它们对当地和短期社会文化发展的影响，而且它们对更大时空尺度现象的影响。我们的目标是为考古学家提供一个多元化、综合性和不断发展的中端框架，该框架密切关注术语的精确性和理论的清晰性，并且在概念上易于理解和广泛适用。
