Dear Duane Gehlsen
intriguing points you make. Now I am curious! Could you (or indeed
anybody else) say a bit more about this?
How are archaeologists actively engaged in promoting pop culture views
of archaeology? Examples please!
In what way do they depend on them? Specifically please!
How does our (UK?) government decide on the basis of pop culture views?
Can this be traced or are there good case-studies of that?

Hello Sarah and All!
Keep asking those tough questions.
It seems that there are a few implicit questions
that I would like to make more explicit.
1. Are archaeologist activily enganged in promoting
pop culture views of archaeology?
2. Are archaeological projects dependent on pop
culture views?
and in a wider context,
3. Do our governments make critical decisions based on
pop culture information?
I think the answers to these questions is Yes!
