materialities
Tangible, concrete things
Materialities is the plural of materiality, a noun referring to the quality or state of being material—that is, physical, tangible, or composed of matter rather than spirit or abstraction.
In legal and financial contexts, materiality designates the significance or relevance of information: something has materiality if it would influence a reasonable person's decision.
Scholars in fields like archaeology and cultural studies use materialities to discuss how physical objects shape human experience and social meaning.
