ABSTRACT

In this paper I seek to explore how a particular aspect of process philosophy can offer us new ways of thinking through time in archaeology. In contrast to current archaeological debates, which counterpose a model of archaeology as driven primarily by history and sequence with one of memory and contemporaneity, the process approach taken here develops a different account. Drawing on the three syntheses of time set out by Gilles Deleuze, the paper explores how habit, memory and difference allow us to think about time in new ways from both passive and active perspectives. Explored through the work of the Ardnamurchan Transitions Project, the paper sets out how these syntheses allow for a multiplicity of times situated within a consistent ontological approach, one that lets us understand the processes by which narratives of both history and memory emerge.

摘要

在本文中，我试图探索过程哲学的一个特定方面如何为我们提供考古学中穿越时间的新思维方式。与当前的考古学辩论相反，后者将主要由历史和序列驱动的考古学模型与记忆和当代性之一相对立，这里采用的过程方法发展了一种不同的解释。该论文借鉴了 Gilles Deleuze 提出的三种时间综合，探讨了习惯、记忆和差异如何让我们从被动和主动的角度以新的方式思考时间。通过 Ardnamurchan 过渡项目的工作进行探索，本文阐述了这些合成如何允许位于一致的本体论方法中的多重时间，
