I seem to have done a typo, copying something from "Explanation in
Archeology" by Watson, LeBlanc, et al. 1971. Does anybody have a copy? On
page 117 it is supposed to say:
"It is important not merely to record the stratigraphic [word missing???] of
a site, but to excavate the site with respect to these levels. The basic
assumption is that the vertical and horizontal distribution of all material
making up an archaeological site is as important as the material itself,
because that distribution reflects patterned human cultural activity just as
much as do the form, style, and manufacturing technique of the artifacts."
What did I do wrong?
