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).
