Dear All,

I've just read: 'It has been pointed out by others that archaeology
falls not among the hard sciences but instead among the difficult
sciences' (Drennan _Statistics for Archaeologists_ 1996, 93).  Does
anyone know who the 'others' are?

Best wishes to all,

Pat
(who is currently defining the areas of doubt and uncertainty a little
more rigidly)
