I am reading Stanley South's Method and Theory in Historical Archaeology. Okay, the guys makes some good points, I don't agree with 8everything* he says, but whatever. I just felt I had to mention *something* about his *bizzare* anologies and diagrams. like The Polearm of Arcaheological theory o_O And 'Fishing in the sea of fact'. Which is a picture of water, with some fish in in marked 'sites' 'features' 'artifacts' and so on, with a guyy in a boat with a fishing line labelled 'armchair archaeologists', a little submarine with a periscore up for 'blind empiricists', and a series of happy leaping dolphins for 'Theory', 'Deduction' 'Prediction' etc.

o_O Well, it was the seventies....
