Reconstructing the human experience from archaeologically recovered materials is a complex task that can only benefit by making use of all available avenues of inquiry. Untangling the Intangible models inclusive discussions that recognize the inherent overlap, intersectionality, and co-constitutive relationship among the widely considered “intangibles” of culture: ideas, beliefs, ideology, and religion.
