Trish,

Fully aware of the arguments pro and con vis-a-vis historic vs. 
historical archaeology ...  In fact, here in the office we revisited 
the topic re: business cards, signage, etc.

The conclusion was ...  semantics, shemantics ...  Since I work in a 
office with a majority of prehistoric archaeologists, rather than 
PREHISTORICAL archaeologists, I decided I was more than comfortable 
not bucking the trend.

"There is also an artificial aristocracy founded on wealth and birth,
without either virtue or talents ... The artificial aristocracy is a
mischievous ingredient in government, and provisions should be made to
prevent its ascendancy."

- Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826)
