When discussing the work of David Clarke, this is part of the explanation
Andrew Sherrat offered for the reaction against processualism:
"Even as taught in many universities, it has had a strongly
anti-intellectual streak, emphasizing expertise in excavation and
typological finesse at the expense of sustained inquiry into the development
of human culture and society."
Is this still true? Is there still "a strongly anti-intellectual streak" in
archaeology?
