Question please: The Romans were a literate people. We have a wealth of
written knowledge from that time period. Ergo, in the "sensu latu"
interpretation (as opposed to the "sensu stricto" ) they were an historic
people. Is there an arbitrary cutoff to history here that transcends time
and place? I for one found the referred article interesting, although
given the focus of this forum's interests, I see it as informational and
not necessarily kicking off a sustained thread of conversation. Hard to
not use words with Latin roots. Just wondering...

Ahem, HISTARCH is for Historical Archaeology, not Classical. Let us
try to keep on topic, please.
