There is little need for archaeology in terms of history. To me, archaeology is only useful for discovery, like finding a new dinosaur that existed, not to re-evaluate or find the truth.

This is one of the most bizarre statements that I have ever seen.

It is becoming increasingly clear that EB2 is not a mod that caters to your (frankly odd) tastes. Well, I suppose we'll just have to live with not having you as a fan.

Too right! I can't think of many archeologists that go around discovering dinosaurs all the time.

I beleive that is paleotology.(sp?)

I get both archeology and paleotology attibuted to me all the time when I say i study geology. People remark how "fun it must be digging up ancient dinosaurs and civilizations everyday". "Actually, no, I just learn how to rip ore from the ground..."

Paleontology is the study of prehistoric life, if that's what you're after. Haven't you ever seen a Jurrasic Parc?

I wonder if that's Kirk Cameron in disguise, based on that comment.

srsly people:

this guy (Ibrahim), is a paleontology student. his job, if he graduates is to dig for fossil life-specifically animals-then study them. the operative word here is "study them"

an archeologist, like say Indiana Jones or the fellows who work on Mayan cities, dig up ancient human artifacts to study. the operative word here is, again, "study them"

is it really this ******* hard to understand the difference?!

[Moros]

Nope.

[Ibrahim]

Nope.

good. now to see if the person who screwed up does as well

[oudysseos]

Probably not, given past examples.

Is it true that archaeologists are some of the most wonderful people in the world, attractive, friendly, well liked etc?

It's true. One of my friends is learning to be an archaeologist and she's been wonderful, attractive (read: hot), friendly and well-liked (read this however you will, LOL) for as long as I can remember.

some of, but not the most.

Geologists (and by extension, Paleontologists*) are the most

*its technically a branch of Geology-it is a historical science-though in reality its on the border between Biology and Geology.

anyways, how on earth did we all get into this? we're supposed to be correcting some guy on Chariot use in Britain.

I believe it was this little gem of a statement that started the ball rolling.

lol, I will admit I always wanted to be a palaeontologist.

Aye that guy was me, I was only thinking about burial evidence when I posted this thread, I forgot about chariot fittings found at sites.
