apologies for cross-posting, but i'm hot on the trail; strike while the iron is
hot, etc.
        reading trigger's "history of archaeological thought" (should have done
this years ago but was having too much fun digging holes in the ground to give
much thought to theory) and came across a reference to david l clarke's "5
bodies of archaeological theory" -

        pre-dep and post-depositional, retrieval, analytic and interpretive -

        is there any secondary/critical literature on this classification
system, or is it just so common-sensical that no one ever questioned it?
