TL;DR: The alternative is that human cognitive development was constructed through the development of joint attention made possible by the anatomical development of hominins and that this sustained a shared empathy between social agents in their practical understanding of the qualities of materiality.

TL;DR: Witmore as discussed by the authors argued that if the materials that archaeologists confront are material memories from which a past is to be recalled in the future, then the kind of memory that things hold often tells us little of whether materials strewn across an abandonment level resulted from the reuse of a structure as a sheepfold, a series of exceptional snow storms, the collapse of a roof made of olive wood after many years of exposure to the weather, the cumulative labors of generations of badgers, children playing a game in a ruin, or the probing roots of oak trees.

TL;DR: In this article, a number of archaeological practices were described as being "empiricist", i.e., they appeared to employ the assumpti city of the assumption.
