People,
Please keep in mind that not everyone on Histarch has been involved with
historical archaeology for years and years. We have a lot of students and
newbies on board and they will be asking questions.
I want the atmosphere of the list to be open and available to these folks
as well as to us (oldbies?).
I seem to recall a major flame war ages ago on the ARCH-L list over the
same sort of thing, and do not want this to happen here.
