which have ontological reality. If we wish to dicover which
types of things there are and the nature of events in the

procedures. This is not empiricist but does require empirical
referencing. These issues will be brought out further in the
next chapter where I look at the problem from within
concrete theoretical perspective. For a relevant critique of
their work see, John Taylor, "Pre-—Capitalist Modes of
Production", in Critique of Anthropology, Nos 4 and 5/6.
