Summary 10: IT IS DIFFICULT to explain why things happened in the past, yet this must be one of the key tasks of archaeology. EXPLANATIONS IN TERMS of the migrations of people or using the rather vague idea of the diffusion of culture used to be very popular; today they are less frequent. THE PROCESSUAL APPROACH has consistently tried to identify broader patterns and general explanations, with an emphasis on long-term, large-scale dynamics. In general, multivariate (multiple-factor) explanations work better than monocausal (single-factor) explanations for such complex outcomes as the origins of state societies. INTERPRETIVE EXPLANATIONS, on the other hand, usually emphasize the specific context, focusing on local histories, the individual, and everyday lives. Both approaches converge toward a cognitive archaeology that acknowledges the role of human intelligence, creativity, and initiative. PROCESSUAL PLUS APPROACHES, since 2000, have retained the strengths of processual archaeology, recognizing broad and longer-term dynamics of people in particular environments, while addressing questions of gender, ethnicity, and agency in those environments. ARCHAEOLOGISTS SEEKING TO EXPLAIN the past also study long-term climate change, documenting not only the way people in the past dramatically changed their environments, but also their flexibility and resilience in response to shortages of land, water, or labor. EXPLAINING THE PAST also requires us to investigate, rather than to assume, how people perceived the world around them. While archaeologists cannot talk directly to people of the past, we can look to ethnography, to written texts in some cases, and to descendant communities, to learn more. POSTCOLONIAL THEORY seeks to create more nuanced explanations of the ways that colonial encounters unfolded, giving attention to the ways that each society experienced contact and responded to it
