Abstract
This paper attempts to explore the relationship between artefacts, landscape and museums. To do so it aims to identify a method that can be applied to both the museological landscape as well as archeological artifacts. With that information, the aim of this paper is to analyse how norm-creating behavior affects museum visitors' view of the artefacts on display. This paper
draws from both well known archeological theories such as agency theory and phenomenology as well as museological theories like multimodality.

This paper attempts to explore the relationship between artefacts, landscape and museums. To do so it aims to identify a method that can be applied to both the museological landscape as well as archeological artifacts. With that information, the aim of this paper is to analyse how norm-creating behavior affects museum visitors' view of the artefacts on display. This paper

All to try and better understand how design choices made in the exhibition affects museum visitors. The goal of this thesis is therefore to examine how contemporary and prehistoric social time affects this communication in the hope of further illuminating the role that the museum plays in the development of archaeological science. This study identifies multimodality as well as phenomenology as theories that can be applied to the exhibition in an attempt to better understand the visitors' experience. It also helps shed light
on the role the museum personnel play in creating and/ or impacting norm-creating behaviour in the museum space. It also emphasizes a need to view the museum as a place of science, instead of a place only for the general public, in a continued attempt to make archeology accessible to society at large. (Less)
