Well, sorry: I'd never heard of this; maybe self-proclaimed, & unquestioned
within the US, but that's not what we were taught in Canada, & that's not
the view here in Europe... especially since what is now called "historical
archaeology" (i.e. doing archaeology & comparing the results with historical
documents) has a history of at least 150 years, and I don't think even Bob
is that old...

The source is Dr. Schuyler's book, Historical Archaeology. IMHO, Bob
is the father of Historical Archaeology as a discipline.
