If you could get a fouth "C" in there, you'd really make Gayle Norton

Archaeology has three main contributions to the study of history.

It can CONFIRM history.  (and occasionally does so)

I can COMPLETE history ( and almost always does so)

It can CORRECT history (particularly gleeful for me when it does so).

So the semi-educatated (spelling don't count) Yahoos who think that
archaeology only can only confirm what happened do NOT know enough to be
part of the decision making process.
