One additional brief side remark; why is it that we are content to  
allow specialists to study the bumps and nicks in cow bones, the  
chemistry of glazes, and, heaven forbid, the details of sewing kits,  
but if someone is interested in big, heavy, hot metal, or gears and  
cogs, that is not allowable as archaeology?
