Recent theoretical discussion places particular emphasis on the concept of space. Understanding space has shifted from a positivist view of an objective and measurable frame of reference, to a dynamic social space where social action takes place, to a phenomenological approach able to incorporate the subjectivities of the embodied experiences of dwelling. Contemporary understandings of networks and interactions reinstate the materiality of the past through their tangible topologies and reassess the objectivity of systematics in seeking the reconciliation of diverging paradigms. These different and diverging trends and approaches will be assessed in the context of the Neolithic studies in Greece.
