I enjoy a good story as much as anyone and indeed there is a place for the imaginative flights that archaeology inspires. But there is a world of difference between fiction and a sound archaeological theory. It is the boundaries between the two that need to be defined. A good story teller imbues the story with their own personality should the archaeologist being doing this ?
I do wonder if the critical abilities to tell fact from fiction are being lost as we are bombarded by electronic media that is indescriminate with the information it hurls at us.
Ps what was Bodger 51 talking about?
