 Profound apologies  !! My comment was to the dismissive comments of guy above you pretending to know what archaeologists think and how they develop knowledge.  I'm still working out the use of the writing tools, and unsure of the protocol with placement. It really was not directed at you. Sorry about my incompetence with the use of the "":::"" and all that. I fully agree with your comment, in fact I believe that it goes farther, and that archaeology and other tools can help mitigate against the inherent biases of sole reliance on the historic record.   "
