历史考古学逐渐转向对物质文化的解释方法，包括认识到在当地背景下具有多种功能和意义的可能性。这里认为，文物还可以保持多重、流动的起源和身份，这影响了我们对移民、土著和其他族裔群体之间文化持久性和变化的本质的理解。然而，预定义的分类方案往往是僵化的，不允许这种流动性，包括来自一种文化的文物被本土化到另一种文化中的可能性。从最近对不列颠哥伦比亚省日本移民的研究中获得的数据，结合根植于跨民族主义和侨民的做法，被用来强调这些模棱两可的性质，并提出克服这些模糊的方法和理论手段。这些解决办法包括需要制定包含多个文物身份的背景分类方案，并进行详细的物质文化历史，追踪移民或流离失所之前和期间不断变化的起源和身份。2011 Elsevier Inc.保留所有权利。
There has been a gradual shift in historical archaeology towards interpretive approaches to material culture, including recognition of the potential for multiple functions and meanings in local contexts. It is argued here that artifacts can also maintain multiple, fluid origins and identities that affect our understanding of the nature of cultural persistence and change among migrant, indigenous and other ethnic groups. However, predefined classification schemes are often rigid and do not allow for this kind of fluidity, including the potential for artifacts from one culture to be indigenized into another. Data drawn from recent research on Japanese migrants in British Columbia, in conjunction with an approach rooted in transnationalism and diaspora, are used to highlight the nature of these ambiguities and to suggest methodological and theoretical means of overcoming them. These solutions include the need to develop contextual classification schemes that incorporate multiple artifact identities and to conduct detailed material culture histories that trace shifting origins and identities both before and during periods of migration or displacement. 2011 Elsevier Inc.
