		The neopositivists thought that the method had to be inductive, a belief supported by Martínez Navarrete and Vincent, 1983-, but with criticism coming from Popper and Processual Archaeology, the hypothetic-deductive method has been considered the only method capable of producing general laws, although this is also problematic (Castro, Lull and Micó, ?).
		However, this position has been questioned by the emergence of Archaeology's new postprocessual visions (Chapman, 1991 even talks about two tribes).

	American Antiquity: ON THE VANPOOLS' "SCIENTIFIC" POSTPROCESSUALISM.(response to article by C.S. and T. L. Van Pool, ...
		Author: Wilkens, Brian S. Recently, VanPool and VanPool (1999) propose that postprocessual archaeology can be construed as a scientific practice if archaeologists would simply adopt a "realistic view" of science.
		We argue that this "realistic view" actually misrepresents science and we question the VanPools' attempt to reduce the dynamic practice of science to a series of static traits.
		We also affirm the incompatibility of the respective confirmation strategies employed by the postprocessual and processual programs.
