In her debate article, Frieman's (2024) reflections on the idea of unproof are a welcome and elegant addition to current debate on the nature of archaeological evidence, how we construct the stories we tell about the past, and the role of archaeology in the contemporary world. Frieman draws on both feminist and anarchist theory to argue that the value of archaeology is the way it allows us to grasp worlds different from our own and suggests that this can allow us to pre-figure better future worlds. This chimes closely with other recent work on the subject (e.g. Barton 2021; Cipolla et al. 2024; Schofield 2024)—clearly, archaeologists are considering the radical potential of our own discipline to change the world.

在她的辩论文章中，Frieman （2024） 对无法证明的概念的反思是对当前关于考古证据的性质、我们如何构建我们讲述的过去的故事以及考古学在当代世界中的作用的辩论的一个受欢迎而优雅的补充。弗里曼借鉴了女权主义和无政府主义理论，认为考古学的价值在于它使我们能够掌握与自己不同的世界，并建议这可以让我们预先构想更好的未来世界。这与最近关于该主题的其他工作密切相关（例如 Barton 2021;Cipolla 等人。2024;斯科菲尔德 2024 年）——显然，考古学家正在考虑我们自己的学科改变世界的根本潜力。
