Evidence based guesswork like radio-carbon dates, oxygen isotope analysis. My practice is based on measuring boring things like postholes. 3 'Understanding' the Neolithic through the perceptions and beliefs of the ancestors, is projection of contemporary ideas onto the minds of the dead.

One is a religion, the other is archaeo-necromancy.<br /><br />However, what with the cost of fuel being so high, and the recession and all, being ritually burnt in a wicker man by the well paid priests of this new age cult, is not without its attractions, as an afternoon out; I [or we, Conor?] could be the first martyrs to evidence based archaeology.Geoff Carterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01111820035762957610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1447678767469727673.post-27049555888142688112012-03-21T11:19:06.786+00:002012-03-21T11:19:06.786+00:00Before you get started with the tar and feathers l...Before you get started with the tar and feathers let me climb out of this rubber catsuit.Conor McHalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18120728044899193323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1447678767469727673.post-85599866769700971822012-03-21T11:05:55.404+00:002012-03-21T11:05:55.404+00:00McHale you have stepped over the line.
