Perceptions of time in the Andaman Islands

Abstract

This article questions the relevance, to archaeological research, of the anthropological approach towards apprehending time as known to the Andaman Islanders. In order to understand how the passage of time was conceived in the past, the significance of the archaeological record, to the people responsible for creating it, is examined. In doing so, two modes of knowledge, of the West and the Other, are juxtaposed.
