Archaeology and Anthropology Final Year Topic: Everyday Classification of New and Old Objects in Household Repair

This Archaeology and Anthropology final year project investigates how adults classify repaired possessions as new, old or still useful. The proposed evidence comes from consented adult object-elicitation using safe participant-selected possessions, with the study limited to an agreed, feasible corpus or production setting.

Why choose this project topic?

The focus on how adults classify repaired possessions as new, old or still useful connects a specific creative or cultural problem to evidence you can document. Using consented adult object-elicitation using safe participant-selected possessions keeps the work concrete and gives you a basis for comparing alternatives rather than relying only on personal preference.

What can the proposed study establish about how adults classify repaired possessions as new, old or still useful?

Choose the specific corpus, venue or creative materials and agree the evaluation criteria for how adults classify repaired possessions as new, old or still useful before starting.

Proposed project objectives

  1. 01Define the criteria needed to investigate how adults classify repaired possessions as new, old or still useful.
  2. 02Document a bounded evidence set using consented adult object-elicitation using safe participant-selected possessions.
  3. 03Compare age, appearance and function in participants' value explanations.

A suggested research approach

Confirm access, permissions and a manageable scope for consented adult object-elicitation using safe participant-selected possessions. Compare age, appearance and function in participants' value explanations. Keep dated process notes and distinguish observations from interpretation. Obtain required approvals before involving people, venues or protected material; record unsuccessful trials as well as successful examples.

What you will need

  • Authorised access to consented adult object-elicitation using safe participant-selected possessions
  • A documentation and analysis plan for how adults classify repaired possessions as new, old or still useful
  • Relevant equipment or editions, attribution records and required participant or site permissions

Keep your project scope clear

The study does not estimate market prices or judge households' financial status.
