Abstract
This paper examines a specific example of material cultural change－the public housing project carried out among the Yami of Orchid Island since 1966. The functionalist and systemic app. roach of New Archaeology neglects culture as autonomous and treats material culture as passive. The data from the Yami shows that the dynamic and trajectory of material culture change is much more complex. The material aspect and symbolic aspect of material culture are each linked with different socio-cultural aspects which effect the dynamic and trajectory of change.
