Amen to that!  As a double major (anthro & geo) for my undergraduate work in 
the 60's at Beloit, I was appalled at the lack of knowledge of 
geology-especially geochemistry and geophysics-that most archaeologists 
typically have.  It is really important now that we have the emerging 
subfields of archaeogeophysics and archaeochemistry.
