Summary, etc. This research paper examines the long-lasting impact of colonialism in archaeology through the lens of actor-network theory (ANT). It investigates how historical and contemporary power dynamics, particularly those based on Eurocentrism, continue to influence archaeological practices and knowledge production. Besides human actors, the study also emphasizes the importance of nonhuman actors, such as tools, technologies, and data, in reinforcing these asymmetrical power dynamics. Using qualitative research methods, the paper investigates how colonial powers historically dominated the field and how these practices continue to this day. A detailed literature review demonstrates that the dominance of Western narratives in archaeology frequently marginalizes local perspectives and knowledge. The paper advocates for a more collaborative and egalitarian approach to archaeological research, emphasizing the value of community involvement and knowledge co-curation. It implies that using ANT can help uncover and mitigate colonial influences by emphasizing the complex networks of human and non-human interactions that underpin archaeological practices. The study's findings advocate for a reevaluation of research methodologies in archaeology to ensure more equitable and inclusive knowledge production, fostering a better understanding of past and present cultural dynamics. Future implications include the possibility of more equitable power distributions in the field, as well as the promotion of ethical research practices that value and incorporate local voices and expertise.
