This paper asks whether archaeologists might profitably re-engage with the pre-Enlightenment doctrines of elemental philosophy and humoral theory as paradigms more relevant for archaeological interpretation in certain contexts than much of current theoretical discourse. These ancient cosmologies are here reconceptualized to suggest ways in which archaeologists might provide fairer representations of past cultures, through the readoption of ideas that they understood rather than through the imposition of more recent and thus anachronistic frames of analytical reference. In four brief case studies, the paper seeks to show how the foregrounding of elemental and humoral theories might lead to new ways of thinking about the study and interpretation of the landscape, material culture, consumption and the senses. Through them, the paper looks to encourage reflection on whether elemental and humoral theories represent the intellectual paradigms that archaeologists have been striving to invent since the discipline's creation.

是时候进行考古学的元素和体液(重新)转向了吗?

本文询问考古学家是否可以有利地重新利用启蒙运动前的基本哲学和体液理论作为范式,在某些情况下与考古学解释比当前的许多理论话语更相关。这些古老的宇宙学在这里被重新概念化,以提出考古学家可以通过重新选择他们理解的想法而不是通过强加较新的因此不合时宜的分析参考框架来提供对过去文化的更公平表示的方式。在四个简短的案例研究中,本文试图展示元素和幽默理论的前景如何可能导致对景观、物质文化、消费和感官的研究和解释的新思维方式。通过他们,
