THE STUDY OF SOCIAL SPACE - ETHNOARCHAEOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE
The social space is an ambiguous concept, where the “material” component is strongly determined by the nature of it’s “social” component and where the organization of objects in a space and space itself corresponds to the social norms and human behaviour. We propose to study an organization and production of a social space of a specific hunter-gatherer society – the yamana society - on the base of the analysis of the social activities described in the ethnographic sources. The interdisciplinary ethnoarchaeological work will help us to find out if it is possible to identify archaeologically these regularities and to resolve some matters in study of a social organization in prehistory itself.
