John Wells Wrote:As a non-archaeologist who has held chartered status within different scientific disciplines, it is the definition of what archaeology is that is the problem for me. Science is a bunch of disciplines as is archaeology. So archaeology for me is not a science but simply a collective which includes scientific disciplines and methods. To include archaeology within the generality of science does not do it justice. It is much more than that. Or am I just a simple soul!?
Exactly, archaeology is far more complicated than science!
