A Study of Conventional Approaches Towards Epistimology
Abstract
The word „pseudo‟ is a Greek word meaning false apparent or supposed
but not real. When prefixed to the word archaeology the term
pseudoarchaeology simply means false archaeology.It can be false for a
number of reasons. Firstly, the archaeological methodology may not be
undertaken using accepted scientific methods. Secondly, the interpretation
of the data or the material remains excavated may not be consistent with
the usual practices of analysis. Thirdly, the artefacts „discovered‟ could be
fakes or the entire archaeological concept could be orchestrated as a
hoax.Pseudoarchaeology is sometimes called fantastic archaeology but by
whatever name it is given it is best identified as pseudo-science dressed in
archaeological garments. Any archaeological theory, excavation site, or
published results of excavations that do not conform to accepted
archaeological practices generally fall into the category of
pseudoarchaeology.Pseudoarchaeology has some results, which are called
kinds of pseudoarchaeology. There are there changes are brought by
pseudoarchaeology:
It changes form of word.
Or meaning
Both form and meaning.
These changes have some reasons: in the result of a victory, conqueror
tribe change the form of word to suit them with form of their own
language; so they bring some phonological changes, second, they translate
them into their language and third, sometime they don‟t have open
reasons.Pseudoarchaeology is not a scientific knowledge; but it has a
value according to folklore. It tell us some stories, which are important as
folkloric materials
