- herodoturtle 4y agoDirect quote from the author: “Archaeology is a wonderful subject, but it has an ideology, and it is presently mostly the kind of thing made to appeal to “Head Girl” IFLS types who memorized all the “correct” answers. Those sorts of people are always a squalid clerisy, and they almost never figure anything new out.” Yeah, I’m inclined to agree with your last point.
