Introduction
Figure 1: Two laws of dimensional ontology (after Frankl 1988: 146).
A) The projection of the same object (cylinder) on different planes gives a contradictory image depending on the light source; B) Projecting different objects onto one plane can give the same image.
The integration of multiple prospection techniques in archaeology addresses a fundamental problem: the inherent limitations of any single method in fully capturing the complexity of archaeological sites. Viktor Frankl’s (1988) dimensional ontology provides a powerful conceptual framework for understanding this issue (fig.1). His analogy of geometric projections offers two essential insights: (1) the same object, when observed from different perspectives, may appear fundamentally different, and (2) different objects may appear identical when viewed through a single perspective. ...
