Can any one prove to me that I am not the figment of some one else’s imagination or perhaps a random glitch in the space time continuum?}
On a more serious point:
Archaeology is about evidence and evidence always requires interpretation.
And I believe that physicists full accept that the act of observing changes the thing being observed
So perhaps in a very really sense archaeology cannot actually prove anything as everything is subject to the filters of the human mind. Which is a bag of water with a few added chemicals:face-stir:
