Ah come on, T. If you don't have a bit of wild subjective speculation now and again, how will people come up with the creativity for the ideas that they test using science and statistics and measuring tapes. Surely you can't sneer at archaeologists for not properly getting their heads round notoriously 'difficult' french philosophy. Surely it doesn't matter if it's not your purist phenomenology, I mean after all it's just being used as a way to see archaeology from a different angle - isn't that a possible source of benefit? Are those archaeologists using it like the sociologists maybe were using science terminology, as revealed by the sokal hoax (ie just to sound clever and postmodern)? I'm not so sure, I think they're using it in good faith aren't they, to try and push archaeology forward a bit?
