Abstract

This article proposes a heuristic inspired by dialectics to explain the historical relationships between the various entities that constitute the world, as an alternative to teleological perspectives used in archaeology. This heuristic moves away from archaeological, ethnohistorical, historical, and anthropological information as well as life experience. In this perspective, there exist a number of entities that are immersed and intertwined in dialectical, historically contingent, material relationships that may coexist in tension and/or conflict. After explaining this set of elements and their relationships, we apply use this heuristic to explain the Moche phenomenon that developed on the north coast of Peru between the III and VII centuries AD.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
