I've been indifferent towards archeologists in
general since I was pretty young.
I still remember as a kid in school one of the
ladies ( assistant principal?) went around digging
stuff up during the summer, and all the kids
would have to gather around and listen to her
talk about this arrowhead, or that rock used to
grind up acorns, and this was the exact procedure
used to make this or that and it took this many
hours to do this and that, blah blah blah blah blah
I remember getting in some bit of trouble during
one of those "lectures " because I asked exactly
how she knew precisely how this and that was
done this and that way since there wasn't any
written record of it, that people back then didn't
go by a clock like we do. They lived like the animals
in the woods did. They didn't have to make 10
arrows before noon, or grind so many pounds of
acorns or nuts in an hour, etc.
I didn't have the realization until years later that
PHD types get indignant if you question anything
they say . Then they turn around and teach you
when you're a student the word "HYPOTHESIS ''
along with the definition of it. The irony is lost
on them I guess
