Re:Archaeology
I don't know whether historic archaeologists would consider the following
historic or prehistoric archaeology.  My dissertation focused on
sixteenth-century (contact period) Native American sites in Georgia.
Information on these groups is available in Spanish documents.  Is
this therefore, historic archaeology?
 
My point is that in some ways the terms historic and prehistoric
archaeology are just labels.  I agree with Karl Steinen and Irwin
Rovner that we are ALL archaeologists.  Some have the advantage of
using documents to help interpret the material culture record
