Post-processual archaeology

Explanation:

The approach in archaeology that stresses the role of individual human agency in the archaeological record is called post-processual archaeology.

Post-processual archaeology emerged in the 1980s, it grew out of critiques of processual archaeology and advocated alternative interpretive perspectives.

Post-processual archaeology encouraged archaeologists to acknowledge the relationships of humans and their object worlds and the different possible trajectories they travel.
