Crynodeb

This chapter argues that the eventful paradigm is of limited use to the archaeological researcher and contends that it is little more than a modern reinterpretation of determinism. The chapter uses volcanic eruptions on a number of scales to illustrate the dangers of adopting an eventful research paradigm and argues instead for a more nuanced approach based on research hypotheses that acknowledge how little we actually know of the past, human response, and its context.
