"American archaeology is anthropology or it is nothing," Gordon Willey remarked several decades ago. I encountered this seminal statement, originally uttered in the course of the old debate regarding archaeology as history or science, in required reading for my archaeology core course at the University of South Florida (USF). A few years later, having completed my master's degree and embarked on a less than auspicious career as a "contract archaeologist," I was gifted with a copy of a fellow graduate's M.A. thesis. On the inside cover, my struggling colleague had cynically inscribed, "Archaeology is money or it is nothing," reflecting well the competitive realities of our newly forged careers. |
