I'd just like to thank the many people on the list who contributed their
responses to the questions I posed about the housing of historical
archaeologist academic positions within History or Anthropology
departments. Although many of the replies highlighted differences
that we could have expected to hear about, such as those concerning
written evidence versus material culture or the typical research
expectations in the two disciplines, your comments are of great help
as we--hopefully--move this position forward.
