It does not seem fair to create a closed club defined by AD 1400 and then
invite people from all over the world to participate in our discussions. So what
are we really talking about here? It sounds like the definition of
"historical archaeology" is based on methdology and research topics. Or perhaps the
limitations set forth here in what some people call the colonial world. But
what if one of us were to cross the pond and apply our methods and theory to,
say, a 13th century Irish farming complex that is well documented? Oh yes, I am
sure someone in Ireland might be pretty concerned we might disregard their
methods and theory. And yes, Anita does own the site. But where is the problem
of carrying on this discussion?

OK: so where did this definition come from? It must come from somewhere,
have a source, someone you can cite...
But that still leaves me hanging: part of what I'm doing is historical
(although I'd normally call the 19th & 20th century stuff "modern"), part
medieval, part Classical, & possibly some prehistoric... except that the
relation between historical & prehistoric...
I'm confused... just give me the source & I'll read it myself
