Reminds me as well that the situation in the English-speaking world is not
necessarily typical; my wife got her MA in medieval history in Spain, where
they either don't or at least didn't used to have archaeology as a first
degree topic; you had to switch to it later...
Also thinking of some great examples of historical archaeology: "In small
things forgotten," for example
On the other hand, I'm increasingly convinced, from comparing histories of
archaeology with the original historical documents (i.e. site "reports" from
pre-1880) that archaeologists make pretty lousy historians...
