Examples of pastpast Thus, archaeologists should be aware of every possible medium of communication - verbal, written, visual, sound - to express re-constructions of ancient pasts. If recognizing the past's difference promoted its preservation, the act of preserving made that difference still more apparent. In part, of course, who we are and who we believe we should be is determined by our pasts, our histories. Rather, we argue that such types of pasts tend to use and promote empiricist and positivist epistemologies. I will deal with each of these three aspects in turn, and hope to demonstrate how archaeological pasts are deeply imbricated in these narratives. The real peculiarities of that history are the abrupt discontinuities - of which anti-militarism is one - between its pasts and futures. They have impounded this land, re-made it into their far-off recollected pasts. However, this is arguably not normally the situation in relation to currently contested pasts. Figuration is about resetting the stage for possible pasts and futures. Animals' mental representations of their pasts and their futures may or may not be functionally solipsistic, but their existence certainly extends beyond the here-and-now. The pasts to which they looked were different, however, and so were the lessons they drew from them. Memory books are structured and contain limited and always positive details of the residents' pasts. The other reason is that these changes both occurred in contexts that were the products of contrasting pasts. People require pasts that enable them to make sense of the lives they are in. Anxiety about the relativist abyss in which 'all pasts are equal' has thwarted efforts to evaluate alternatives to 'objective science'.
