Apologies are not necessary but thanks. As for "recent years", the efforts
in Greece by both the Greeks themselves and the foreign archaeological
schools had moved far beyond the Art History notion by at least as early as
the second decade of the 20th century. My own efforts have been fueled by
the copious strategraphic records kept in field notebooks from 1914 and
1915. I suspect neither of us would consider that recent.

Sorry Paul ... My response was meant to be very general and only in
response to Meli's post .. Also, my concept of "recent years" may be
significantly different than yours ... I sometimes forget how how
long I have been doing this.

"There is also an artificial aristocracy founded on wealth and birth,
without either virtue or talents ... The artificial aristocracy is a
mischievous ingredient in government, and provisions should be made to
prevent its ascendancy."
- Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826)
