The controversial framework developed by Carl Hempel is based on the development of universal statements and natural laws. This approach emphasizes the use of scientific methods and empirical data to develop theories and explanations for archaeological phenomena. Some New Archaeologists adopted this approach, but it was heavily criticized by other New Archaeologists who argued that it neglected the importance of social and cultural factors in shaping human behavior and ignored the subjective nature of archaeological interpretation.
