Obviously -
Real Historical Archaeology should be centered in History Departments,
where students are as well grounded in documentary analysis as they are in
material culture analysis, and can become equally capable of exploiting the
strengths of each method in their investigations.
Not so, Carl. Your bias in favor of academic history departments is just as
bad as the anthropologists who feel it belongs in their department. This is a
field that benefits from both schools of thought, as well as about 10 years
of good practical experience apprenticing under someone who has truly mastered
the field (not to be confused with a MA degree).
