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.
