Material culture
The term material culture refers both to the psychological role,the meaning,that all physical objects in the environment have to mean something to people in a particular culture and to the range of manufactured objects (techno-complex) that are typical within a socioculture and form an essential part of cultural identity.Human beings perceive and understand the material things around them as they have learned to from their culture.Manufactured items are especially meaningful and the relationship between object and meaning is usually what scholars of material culture study.Material culture as learned behaviour can be compared to cultural linguistics,(verbal culture).Archaeologists try to understand the general articulation of past human societies by inferring what the less permanent aspects of cultures may have been like from the material record they have left behind.Understanding aspects of the material culture of prehistoric peoples is the goal of some schools in archaeology as exemplified by cognative archaeology or contextual archaeology.Other schools of archaeology,such as processualism generally avoid attempts to study material culture as a mentalist phenomenon altogether.
