In their own words 3
, I think that it is wrong that Archaeology should be located within Anthropology because archaeologists have equally strong links to History and the natural sciences.
One of the things I thought was very important during the 1980s was the idea that culture is meaningfully constituted. I still think that is right.
...In the contemporary world, it is worrying trying to create cultural groups, because it is always motivated from an interest-position.
