Hi -

Having not been around at the creation, can someone direct me to a short
history -- sorry, I know that's a bad word but I just can't help myself --
addressing why the SHA separated from the SAA ?

Thanks.

Not derogatory at all.

I personally do not do "prehistorical" research any longer.

This was decided in 1967 after many different terms and names
were suggested. We should be consistent both in our terminology
and definition of our field (cf. Anders Andren's concept) or
general scholarship, including perhistorians, may have no idea
who or what we are.
