Please accept my apologies. I did not mean to diss any of the work
being done "across the pond." Yes, I meant classical archaeology, not
all of Old World archaeology. But I was also speaking of what was being
taught at the University of Pennsyvlania in the early 1970's - which was
not even current with developments in the field AT THAT TIME, let alone
now. I managed to stick with archaeology despite my frustrations with
the program at Penn, and went on to a much better and broader and more
up-to-date education at the Pennsylvania State University (NOT the same
thing as Univ. of Pennsylvania) in the later 1970s and 1980s.
