Abstract:

The main objective of this article is to discuss usefulness of category of experience in archaeology. It presents two general approaches to experience in philosophy (Hume and Kant) and their development and inspiration in contemporary philosophy of science. These two traditions constitute a framework within which the importance and meaning of experience in archaeology has been discussed. More particularly, the article pinpoints differences between positivist and modernist definition of experience. A special attention is focused upon modernist understanding of experience and its importance. Furthermore, it discusses contemporary tendencies that view experience through its links to emotion and not exclusively to reason. Usefulness of experience is proven to be fundamental in positivist and modernist archaeology, while its value is of limited importance in archaeological works inspired by postmodernist ideas
