Maddy,
I thought you made the point well enough. I was just reinforcing it, and
adding a little bit about the background. Misuse of archaeological and
historical evidence, particularly in support of preconceived ideas and
ideologies, is one of my pet peeves. I couldnt' resist the opportunity
for a wee rant.
And I'm quite happy to be referred to as Ron. The rather formal
signiature at the bottom of my messages is useful for impressing
developers and civil servants, but perhaps a bit much for a less formal
forum such as this.
Ron
