Abstract


The example of the large site of Marroquíes Bajos is used to discuss the efficiency of typological and radiocarbon chronologies in measuring socio-economic changes in the archaeological record. The concept of simultaneity is examined, along with the relativity and the uncertainty of interpretations. This problem can be resolved by assuming the existence of ranges of simultaneity and accepting the consequences of the current nature of archaeological reality. It is necessary to make the nature of archaeological time an object of disciplinary study.
