Abstract

Processual archaeology, also known as New archaeology, which came to dominate the field in the 1960s presented a critique of past archaeological work, that it, fundamentally, was non-scientific. The debates and arguments that exist within the field of archaeology often seem to be limiting, as Trigger remarks, or result in slowing down the field's development. But, there also often seems to be circularity to the discourses. (Trigger, 1996) As a result, a processual analysis that Gordon childe`s work, to give a potent example, is non-scientific, can be debated. This paper will intend, by drawing on primary and secondary sources, to show childe`s accomplishments as scientific and forward-looking, though he is an archaeologist from a time when much archaeological work was biased and limited in its focus in ways that post-processual archaeology dissects. (Trigger, 1996)
