Call me a simple old soul if you will, but personally I am opposed to "reserving" any archaeological period, location, percieved group, race, religion or nationality for any particular group, race, religion or nationality etc. of present day archaeologists, or indeed denying any such archaeology to any defined group of archaeologists. While I appreciate the concerns, this tends to smack of racism in itself, however well intentioned.
Last time I looked we were all people, and I would prefer to lossen the divisions rather than reinforce them.
