The case study is a familiar yet generally taken-for-granted element of archaeological theory. Typically, it is viewed as a kind of “proof of concept,” an essential way to demonstrate the value of a particular theoretical approach, if not theory in general. In this article, we examine the case study as it has been used in archaeology, exploring its different manifestations and situating them within a wider discussion of the role of cases and examples within the humanities and social sciences. Offering our own “example”—a rereading of Bonnichsen's Millie's Camp experiment from the 1970s—we argue for a different role of the case study in relation to archaeological theory.

考古理论案例研究

案例研究是考古理论中一个熟悉但通常被认为是理所当然的元素。通常,它被视为一种“概念证明”,是证明特定理论方法(如果不是一般理论)价值的基本方式。在本文中,我们研究了考古学中使用的案例研究,探索了它的不同表现形式,并将它们置于关于案例和例子在人文和社会科学中的作用的更广泛讨论中。提供我们自己的“例子”——从 1970 年代重读 Bonnichsen 的 Millie's Camp 实验——我们主张案例研究在考古学理论中的不同作用。
