Therefore 'archaeology' is everywhere. Whether we choose to record it or the degree to which we choose to record it or the period we decide to record is another matter. The 90% plus claim for 'nothing' is ridiculous......90% for 'can't be bothered to look for the wood amongst the trees' is actually the reality.....
Yep, I'm with you Kevin. unless it has been previously destroyed.
Doug, I don't believe you. I may be misunderstanding, but if you could predict where archaeological 'sites' were or aren't with such a high accuracy and precision none of us would have a job and you'd be a multimillionaire.
Besides, what do you define as a 'site?'. We dig landscapes.
