However, Ron O'l Chap, I do share and heartily second your views that HA
should be an interdisciplinary field where the two disciplines are really
melded. I see very little of that, and I don't see how it can happen in
the one-dimensional approach the current training and practice in HA takes.
Yo, ho.
Carl,
I think you confuse prehistoric archaeologists (anthropology trained)
playing at historical archaeology for contract money. When they cannot find
teaching jobs, most find engineering firms that do not know the difference between
an ethnologist or a biological anthropologist from a prehistorian, let alone a
trained historical archaeologist. And few of either know much about
conservation and collections management.
