Resumo
Archaeology is argued here to have a significant behavioral science component. Various kinds of laws used in the study of the past—correlates, c‐transforms, n‐transforms, and the laws of socio‐cultural variability and change—are not readily borrowed from other sciences. It is shown that in order to fill these substantial gaps in scientific knowledge, archaeologists have for some time been carrying out nomothetic studies.
