I don't want to discuss personalities, I want an answer to my question. I've
asked it twice, both times you've avoided an answer. I haven't called you
names, I haven't used any ad hominems, I haven't used cheap tricks. I did call
your response silly, and I think it was. I notice you've cut it out. I asked
you what your experience was, you replied:

For the third time, please tell us about your personal experience of :
excavation that leads you to think that archaeologists may have
missed/forgotten to mention or whatever chicken bones. Or some other statement
that shows you know enough about practical archaeology to back up your claims.
Your avoidance of the question and YOUR descent into personalities isn't
helping you.
