Popis:	The New Archaeology has focussed attention on the fact that archaeology is grounded in common sense and the principles of such basic sciences as geology and biology. Heuristic use of the hypothetico-deductive covering-law model has made all archaeologists recognize the need for explicit statements of how interpretations are derived from data. Archaeologists are not philosophers; they need not be concerned with metaphysical questions about reality. In particular, skepticism strengthens confirmation techniques-it does not jeopardize our knowledge of the past.
