I find this fascinating. David Atherton’s suggestion - that my posts were condescending but that did not imply I was condescending – was...
At this point David Atherton abandoned evidence based debate in favour of personal abuse. This stance was soon apparently echoed and then...
Its now very clear that your aim is to defend professional archaeology without regard to the mangling of evidence that entails. I make two points:...
