		Archaeology is, of course, a stern and scientific discipline, increasingly desk, document and screen based.
		At a time when archaeology has never been more popular, with television programmes like Time Team (sneered at by the academics, but they all seem to watch it) reaching remarkable and growing audiences, the profession in Britain is fragmented and under-funded.

		However, the overall effect of the book is the promotion of a fairly traditional positivist view of archaeology (not the radical extreme of Binford exactly, but certainly archaeology as science nonetheless except where Renfrew's own "mentalist" leanings towards specific issues such as the peopling of Europe still come into play).
		Many of the advocates of archaeology as science hold the view that only science and scientists are the proper and legitimate custodians of the past.
		One should bear in mind that the Disney Professor did not come of age when such concerns were really prominent in people's minds.
