I do think that this is a real failing on the part of acedemics - this stuff is not hidden away and impossible to access! Its underuse simply shows how out of step with comercial archaeology the theoretical branch is. Students researching papers should be taught where this imformation is and how to access it - but if lecturers themselves dont use it then what hope is there!
It is amazing that this can be presented as a revelation now as field archaeologists have been trying for years for recognition and now the discovery of a wealth of material "previously unknown about" can be claimed by acedemics! Nice one - how about a bit of credit to us lot !!
