ORIGINAL: Lordandmaster Some other people have told you similar things about historical documents--and they're female, so you might actually take their opinion seriously--but I was pretty stunned to see that a graduate student in archaeology really seems to believe that archaeologically excavated materials don't reveal "cultural biases." Oh, look, he's back. So much for the premise that you weren't going to say anything more, eh? Would a restraining order help? As for what I am learning about history and the human race by studying anthropology--it is far more than I can express in a forum post. And given the audience, I'm fairly confident that anything I say will be twisted until someone with an agenda to take offense can use it as a pretext for more BS anyway. So why bother? [;)] I'm also not going to defend statements that I never made and messages that I never intended to convey. But just as a side note--yes, everyone is aware that the data gleaned from any scientific procedure requires interpretation, and that the interpretation is done by a fallible human being. This is why in science we have a process called "peer review" and a principle called "reproducibility". You don't get to just state your opinion and have it assumed by all and sundry that you are right. They're going to go over the evidence themselves--with a fine tooth comb, and with a thousand agendas that are completely counter to your own. And they don't want to be convinced, especially if your interpretation is particularly whacky. Even old assumptions and evidence which are very near and dear to the hearts of many can be questioned and re-tested when new evidence emerges which contradicts them. Nothing is sacred. As to historical documents--I fail to see how anything that others have said contradicts what I have said in the slightest, so I really don't know what you're babbling about. Yet more evidence that your reading comprehension, at least when it comes to my posts, is very low. --M
