The more I read the more Im convinced that archaeologists are really just a type of affirmative action placement for all of scientific endeavor. Whenever a university is found to not have enough people with disabilities on staff they hire the low functioning offspring of some donor and give them a degree in archaeology. If they make up ridiculous fantasies and write papers in crayon thats OK, everyone they are studying is dead so no harm done. Besides, eventually a real scientist from another discipline will come along and correct the record.
