Quote of the semester
I came across this tonight in one of my theory readings. It made me laugh:
"If the social sciences were like mathematics or physics, economists might be rich, political scientists would be elected, sociologists would be unemployed, and archaeologists would know all the answers."
--T. Price on the unpredictability of archaeological inquiry (Ch. 16 of Principles of Archaeology)
True, so true.
