• aaao:ZE35 Locative Status

Scope note:

An instance of physical locative status is the collective ascription to a physical object of a formal association to a geographic place. The substance of the locative status is the communal attribution of a defined association type between the designated object and place.

As opposed to connections created between physical objects and places through their passage through space and time, e.g.: the place of production being a property of the production event of an individual, physical locative statuses are created de jure rather than de facto and create a socially recognized connection between an object and a location regardless the real or known spatiotemporal history of that object. For example, documentation may point to ambiguous evidence linking an object and a place such as the 'provenance' location of a physical object. In these cases, when we do not know the actual physical history of the object in question, but we do have a de jure attribution from which some knowledge may be derived, we can document and follow an instance of Physical Locative Status for an object in relation to a geographic location.

Instances of physical locative status are recognizable through evidence of community members adopting the intentional stance of so recognizing this status, as observable from direct witnesses, through the reports of competent observers or through evidence of a declarative act initiating this status.

Instances of locative status may come to be through a formal process such as a declarative act of such definition, or may have arisen through habit, fiat or be of unknown origin. Instances of locative status may end either though a formal process, such as a new declarative act, or may simply fade out of use, be eliminated by fiat or be of unknown reason.

Examples:

• The Physical Locative Status (ZE43) of Hoa Hakananai'a and Moai Hava (E22) as 'has permanent location' Easter Island (E53) held by the Council of Elders (Consejo de Ancianos), CODEIPA (Comisión de Desarrollo de la Isla de Pascua/Development Commission of Easter Island) (E74) (https://www.britishmuseum.org/about-us/british-museum-story/contested-objects-collection/moai)
• The Physical Locative Status (ZE43) of Hoa Hakananai'a and Moai Hava (E22) as 'has permanent location' Room 24 at the British Museum (E53) held by the British Museum (E74) (E74) (https://www.britishmuseum.org/about-us/british-museum-story/contested-objects-collection/moai)
