    You would be surprised. For one, they can't be bothered to dig anymore. Many of them are mesmerised by aDNA, cropolites (or traces of them in lakes), and whether paleoindians were feminists or gay...

      Knowing many professional archaeologists, I have no idea what you're talking about.

        They're mocking doing archeology with an agenda FYI

          It's a strawman fallacy, not mockery. I never heard of archaeologists doing any of what they are accused of here.

      Archaeologists don't dig holes for fun. Excavations are just one set of tools in a larger investigative toolkit. If you can do the research without the hassle and expense of a trench, why shouldn't you?

        I can't tell if OP commenter is complaining archaeologists dig too many holes or not enough.

          Narrative consistency isn't necessary for trolls to get the attention they desire. Quite to the contrary.
