I am both very interested in the objective findings of this dig and skeptical of their interpretation. I just finished The Goddess & The Bull" by Michael Balter. The Archaeologist involved in the dig are a mix of Feminists, anti-capitalist or Marxist, multiculturalists and others who can be counted on to infuse their idealogical prejudices into their work. Hodder is the main current exponent of Post-processual Archeology which seeks to "move beyond the science and tell a story, give a voice to the ancestors." Of course they found evidence of a Marxist utopia -- what else?

"Of course they found evidence of a Marxist utopia -- what else?" They found what they were looking for. Earlier interpertations say the entrance in the top was a defensive action.
I couldn't force myself to post this one.
