Postphenomenology and Time

During the past two decades, phenomenology has enjoyed its use within archaeological theory. This vein of inquiry saw its most fruitful deployment within the archaeology of Neolithic Britain during the mid to late 90s. However, I shall argue that archaeological phenomenology is ill equipped and equally ill constructed to deal with the analysis of what Ricoeur called, ‘phenomenological and cosmological time’. The problem originates from the fact that current archaeological phenomenology stems from Heidegger’s own temporally problematic philosophy. In addition, past archaeological phenomenologists have neglected to discuss the wide range of temporal experiences that the body can experience in connection with both the archaeology and the wider landscape. Consequently, I will argue that by using postphenomenology, theoretical archaeologists can capture a broader range of how people experienced time, whilst reflexively being aware of their own temporal predispositions. Postphenomenology acknowledges and includes the Gadamerian and Ricoeurean schools of hermeneutics within its existential analysis of the lifeworld, thus making a more reflexive analysis of time between the analyser and the environment. Within this presentation I shall outline the need for a postphenomenological view of time within archaeology today by applying it to my research of Iron Age dolmens in Bulgaria.
