Abstract

The ideas suggested here were the product of field work and deal with the absence of theoretical elements for the treatment of material culture. It is a review of the materialist and idealist positions and the lack of explanatory methods and frameworks for their study. It appeals to archeology, since it is its object of study, although it is pointed out that its objectives are different from those of social anthropology. Finally, two possible lines of action for the study of material culture are established: simulation models and fractals. Support for the screen reader has been enabled.
