My "fairly arrogant post" was simply meant to make light of the title suggesting
that prehistory was about to be interpreted from an anthropological
perspective...which is exactly what I thought the near entirety of American (and
some British) archaeology was beginning with "An Archaeological Perspective" by
Binford and Binford. Or whatever happened to Gordon Willey's even earlier dictum
"Archaeology is anthropology or it is nothing." To fibd large boldface letter
announcing an anthropogical approach to prehistory struck me as just like a sudden
announcement that we were going to witness a great swell of Darwinianism in
evolutionary biology.
