| dc.description | The authors have blissfully ignored all debate concerning what is the correct level of science to use in archaeology, or the question of what is archaeological geology, and have gone ahead teaching a course since 1986 with the title "Archaeological Geology." We hope that our students represent the wave of the future, for they are truly interested in scientific applications to archaeology. Students coming from anthropology and classical archaeology and forced to pursue a B.A. track come into the course with great enthusiasm. To meet their curriculum requirements, which are heavy in humanities courses, they are often deprived of any kind of science. Sadly, these students seem to feel this lack greater than their home department mentors. There is a great need to enlighten, to proselytize, and to make sure that practicing archaeologists know that science, used properly, can be of great help and not a hindrance in their research. Geologists must also accept the fact that their methods can help solve many important archaeological problems, problems as interesting and as important as any in their own "pure" geological fields. Our approach to the subject has been one of inclusion, agreeing with Brian Fagan that "geoarchaeology is a far wider enterprise than geology | - |
