In archaeology and heritage studies, "archaeological value" is a term frequently
used yet often lacking clear epistemological and philosophical context. Its
ambiguity is particularly problematic in academic and professional discourse,
leading to inconsistent and sometimes flawed evaluations of archaeological
artifacts. This study seeks to address this ambiguity by exploring the concept from
two perspectives: the philosophical dimension, focusing on axiological semantics,
and the archaeological dimension, emphasizing its empirical application in
practice. By examining how socio-cultural constructs and historical contexts
influence perceptions of value, this paper proposes a novel framework to reconcile
theoretical and practical perspectives. Through thisinterdisciplinary approach, the
study aims to establish a coherent epistemological basis for understanding and
applying "archaeological value."
