Abstract

The article asserts for archaeology a central position within the historical disciplines, emphasizing its role in interpreting material remains to reconstruct the systems of meaning, social structures, and worldviews of past communities. Recognizing archaeology as a historical science means reaffirming the centrality of critical analysis, contextualization, and the construction of meaning – processes that transform material evidence into a living testimony of human history.
