It is certainly a pity - and rather strange, I think - that archaeologists and historians cannot come together in and for a common cause --- the quest for kno wledge. I know that I for one tried to bridge the gap, but who am I? A SINGLE, lowly, would-be graduate student who comes all the way to Florida from Virginia to be in a historical archaeology program, which I got in allright, but then f ound that it just won't do for me to stay! Strictly speaking, my undergraduate major was historic preservation, but history was my minor and my first love. I was open, I was willing, but having insufficient background in archaeology just could not be the problem, could it? I took more undergraduate classes to learn, and for what? Archaeologists complain that historians don't respect their field - they say t hat history people should learn some archaeology.... Well this is one would-be historian who tried, attempting to makeit part of his basic education so that a ny prejudices would be avoided and all.... So now I search for a regular history or historic preservation graduate program to transfer into - changing them horses... Anyone have any suggestions on scho ols, especially in the southeast? I should have never left Virginia.......
