It was just a suggestion Mike!

Thanks for posting the article - I will read and digest this with great interest.

All this talk of "new archaeology" has made me harken back to my days at Sheffield Uni, listening to John Barrett speak in a language he claimed was English (only kidding Prof.). One thing I do remember though was a passage from a piece of his work in which he suggested that Archaeologists's apparent obsession with typoligy and classification was basically an attempt to make sense of an otherwise incomprehensible Archaeological record. The problem being that the classification had become the focus of attention, and much academic debate, and we had simply forgotten about the humans that made, cherished and used the artefacts in question.
