H.J. Is it a fact that Italian archaelogists are looked down upon? Is there some book with rankings or is this statement typical of everyone (especially in Europe) thinking that their country has the brightest and smartest? I am just curious because a few times I have seen on this form not so many respectful remarks made about Italy. We really should stay away from that sort of discussion or direction.
On another note, I would like to agree that before anything is presented to the public and celebrated that is should be studied in detail even if it takes years. I know of chemistry publicatons that were put out in great haste without all the experiments completed so that the professor can claim to be the first to do something. Then later have another University print a counter paper saying the original claim is incorrect with data to prove the errors.
