Abstract
Open-access reader
During the early 18th century archaeology was both materialistic and idealistic. Since the end of the century idealism has been excluded. Processual archaeology was, for example, highly materialistic. In this article an idealistic principle is reintroduced, though in a different form. Idealism is instead understood as an ethic.
