Explanatory tyranny
Article Abstract:
In archaeology, as in most disciplines, explanations are almost never simple, and if they are, it could be because there is something missing. The pressure placed on scientists, both outside science and within it, to simplify in order to explain, is essentially reducing the intellectual content of the explanation.
