Quote:you'll have to take it from me that there was once a very strong emphasis on objective description because interpretation was the director's jobAbsolutely and that's an interesting top-down processual approach. I'd think that the input being solicited from those who dug a context/feature is more post-processual. Perhaps things are swinging back the other way now? It would take rather less harrassed directors than I've seen (especially in the commercial environment), who'd be able to spend much time considering the interpretation of individual features and contexts - although they obviously have ultimate control of the site overview and interpretation.
