I am trying my best to understand all of the evaluations concerning the 
terms "Historical Archaeology", "History"and "Archaeology". The more I 
read, (it is all very good!) the more confused I become.

It seems to me some folks are trying to defend their "Sacred Positions", 
which I find is usual among intellectuals, while others are trying to just 
confuse the issue. Being a neophyte in this area of study I keep asking, 
Huh? So if I may be so bold as to admit, "I don't know!" Then "What the 
heck is Historical Archaeology ?"

With all due respect, I am really impressed with the quality and knowledge 
of all of you and your willingness to share and support each other.

Best regards
