Notes

Abstract: This presentation discusses research on archaeology. Public and academic perception of archaeology is unstructured. Members of the general public view archaeologists as key holders to the past, and members of "harder sciences" view archaeology as a pseudoscience. Both of these observations are problematic for the integrity of archaeological research and the field as a whole. Two case studies from the Northern Rio Grande (NRG) region of New Mexico show the limitations of zooarchaeological data. Principles derived from these case studies can help assuage overconfidence from the general public, as well as members of the archaeological community, and can ease excessive caution from members of the "harder sciences" in regard to archaeological conclusions.
