One of the problems that I face (as a university based archaeogeek) is overcoming 'misinformation' that has been/is being spread by perhaps a few of the diehard luddites to whom this thread was originally adressed. My current fave is 'You can't use GIS on a stone-age site'...this would be vaguely amusing if it wasn't coming from much the same direction as people who previously had been telling me 'You can't dig a stone-age site stratigraphically'. It could be that the 'digital age' is just the latest 'update' in a long running academic saga....
With peace and consolation hath dismist, And calm of mind all passion spent...
