Interpretive Archaeology

Interpretive Archaeology is a theoretical framework within archaeological study that emphasizes the reconstruction and understanding of past human behaviors, beliefs, and symbolic systems—particularly in prehistoric art—through contextual, hermeneutic, and qualitative analysis rather than solely empirical or scientific methods.
