In the way that many subjective disciplines can be described as social sciences, I would say that archaeology is a science. However, I wouldn't want to draw a line that only allows objectivity or proccessuality to determine either our research agendas or our field techniques or even the broad philosophical approach to the subject. Phenomonology (however abstract) and intuitive approaches have their place as well....
With peace and consolation hath dismist, And calm of mind all passion spent...
