Before long, taking this further, I hope for a far richer archaeology that happily addresses thought, morality, taste, art, music, desire, ambition, character and feeling - in short, which encompasses all aspects of life both social and personal. Some will say that archaeological evidence isn't up to such a task. I don't believe it. At present, such work sits at the margins. In the new century I would like to see it move centre stage.
Archaeology has a glorious recent past.
Let's hope its future lives up to it.
