The thematic approach how to interpret
‘diet’ ‘trade and exchange’ ‘the organisation of space’ ‘the structure of time’ ‘social relationships’
e.g. ‘ranking’ ‘material culture’
‘multi-vocality’

can sometimes work well
reveals development of thought chains
But, how much do you really like to re-read
Renfrew and Bahn, Hodder, Johnson?
The essay & its question“Monuments are better
understood from the inside in phenomenological terms than from the outside in New Archaeological or Marxist terms. Do you agree with this?”
![Page 10: Anthony Sinclair, SACE, University of Liverpool Teaching and Learning Theory](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042613/5516158c55034694308b550e/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The Data Set
has some good elements
theory <-------> data
adding the problem of qualitative / quantitative data analysis
“What factors might be relevant for interpreting the % of obsidian at ‘x’
?”

The Data Set

telephone, office chair,
filing cabinet, computer....

Some Problems
reading about, understanding and digestion of theory takes time
sources:
basic texts or articles
are we clear about what students need to know?
can we be sure that students understand theory?
do we need to think about a ‘curriculum’?
what would a curriculum look like?
![Page 14: Anthony Sinclair, SACE, University of Liverpool Teaching and Learning Theory](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042613/5516158c55034694308b550e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Renfrew & Bahn: What shall we explain?
artifacts
what was this tool used for, how was it made?
events
how was Stonehenge made, why was this animal eaten?
classes of events
how did agriculture start, why did people make monumental buildings?
general cultural change
how did societies become more unequal?

to understand data sets you need to be clear about the concepts that ‘inform’ data.
classificatory concepts define a grouping
correlational concepts link ‘facts’ - evolution
theoretical concepts entities that cannot be seen some concepts may be
threshold concepts a theory curriculum? doorways to understanding?
