| Sumario: | This article will present and discuss the main characteristics of the ontological approaches in archaeology. Influenced by the “ontological turn”, this approach places as its central axis a concern for knowing multiple realities based on reflections on the very nature of being and matter. In this article I propose to trace the theoretical path that led to these reflections, highlighting the theoretical-methodological approach proposed by Benjamin Alberti, which has been called recursive ontological archaeology. Throughout this study I intend to show the bases of this approach, as well as its potential use and limits. I believe that reflection on any theoretical approach is an important exercise to broaden discussions and provide new understandings within archaeological theory itself.
