Its a while back now since this project so forgive me if my memory is a bit hazy..... but wasn't part of the point of the exercise not only to capture the excavator views on the archaeological interpretation but also something of their thought process, mood and general feelings about the site and their work? I seem to remember we had a name for this kind of exercise back then and it probably rhymed with Hodder, but it definitely weren't 'post-processual'.....I think at the time I felt generally in favour of the approach that Barrett and Lewis took and I'd be interested to hear whether the organisations involved have developed this further on subsequent excavations....
With peace and consolation hath dismist, And calm of mind all passion spent...
