I didn't know you could do a first degree in custard making...but isn't this comment disparaging to all professional custard makers?
On the other hand, I read Troll's comment about the 'classisist' as referring to the fact that he was working outside his area of expertise. That needn't imply that classisists in general are not competent archaeologists, just that their approach may not necessarily be properly applicable to a Chalcolithic site.
