Evidently one had better not attempt in this newsgroup to discuss any

our smug and insular scientists become mute or get all twitchy (and
loose-boweled) because they have no knowledge of or interest in
history, paleography, and other fields which can and should be brought
to bear in helping to more accurately contextualize the physical
remains. If you're not interested in the human societies you are
examining other than through the methodologies for which you are
trained, at least refrain from advertising your parochial and
unprofessional attitudes.
