When I commented on finding the hat and boot in the U.S. Army barracks  
chimney the other day, I failed to mention the construction crew were English  
Americans. The practice that I spoke of had nothing to do with African  Americans. 
There is also a report of a pair of shoes found in the rafters of  Notre Dame 
with a note from the man who erected the roof structure, indicating  he 
wanted his spirit to protect his work after he was gone. 
 
Strangely, the biggest critics and nay-sayers of these ritual features are  
archaeologists. Why is that? What threatens American archaeologists in the  
discovery of these features? Why is it they demand we interpret concealment  
features as simple trash dumps?
