This selective approach has been responsible for the creation of a large and important, but extremely subjective primary archaeological data base ; one which is inherently biased away from non-Biblical periods. The result has strongly influenced all understanding of the arclneological record, often detrimentally. However, since the time of the British Mandate for Palestine until the present, the implementation of a determined, objective policy of salvage archeology in the territory of the State of Israel has acted as a curb on this tendency by adding a healthy, non-biased increment to this data base. It is a policy which makes no distinctions between Biblical related and non related sites and it has been responsible for major discoveries which have, in certain instances, radically altered scholarly comprehension of the archacological record.

Based on the experience of the writer, it is suggested that ideological subjectivity in archaeological work is inescapable, and that it does not necessarily detract from the value of the work.

Compromises are rapidly being reached by many museums and institutions, but some areas of uncertainty are outlined that remain to be settled. It is argued that while not a vital discipline in itself, archaeology does have some noteworthy contributions to make to the good of humankind, and in particular it can serve to strengthen the cause of the very groups who are at present opposing some of its practices.

In so doing, it highlights the nature of straegies involved in such studies, and uses the Spanish decorated cave of Hornos de la Peña as its primary example. The review reveals a general lack of precision in much work on parietal art, stemming from indecision about the nature of any "art system of communication" which may have been involved. In this context, therefore, it may not be surprising to find much interpretation still concerned with species identification on the one hand and with distributions of motifs in the caves on the other. It concludes by emphasizing the intimate relationship between the investigator's own preconceptions and the research methodology adopted.

En France, les phénomènes de mode sont favorisés par la conjonction d'un champ de recherche illimité ("archéologie totale"), d'un manque d'encadrement théorique explicite et d'une forte tradition empirique, comme le montrent divers exemples développés dans cet article. Les effets de la mode se manifestent au niveau du vocabulaire, de la recherche, et surtout de l’interprétation. Il est possible de distinguer des modes à des degrés divers : modes généralisées, spécialisées, ponctuelles. Les modes intercalent un prisme déformant entre l'archéologue et son objet d'étude : en prendre conscience est un préalable indispensable à une objectivité accrue. Fashions can be defined as an unscientific tagging along, which entails an unreasoned rejection or adoption of methods and/or concepts. In France, the development of fashions is helped both by an unlimited field of research("total archacology"), a lack of explicit theory and still strong empirical tradition, as can be shown from a number of examples discussed in this paper. The effects of fashions appear in the vocabulary, as well as on different levels of research and interpretation. It is possible to characterize several degrees in fashions, as they may be generalized, specialized, restricted. Fashions set up a distorting prism between archaeologists and their work : to be aware of their pitfalls is a prerequisite to a better objectivity.

Cette tendance a exagéré le facteur diachronique dans les séquences régionales et la notion d'évolution autonome. Ces visions s'opposent radicalement à ce que l'on sait pour les périodes historiques où l’on connaît de nombreux mouvements d'expansion de toutes natures. Par quelques exemples, les auteurs montrent l'existence de phénomènes diffusionistes dans le Paléolithique. An « allergy » against migrationis and diffusionist theories may be observed in the prevailing explanations for cultural change in the European Paleolithic. This tendency has exaggerated attention to diachronic factors in regional sequences and emphasized the notion of autonomous evolution. Such interpretations are radically opposed to those accepted for the historic periods where one finds numerous movements of peoples, ideas and techniques documented. The authors give examples that show the existence of diffusionis phenomena in the Upper Palaeolithic of Europe.
