Ahem. It isn’t my intention to dwell on my personal history here on Savage Minds. However, suffice to say that most of my knowledge of the Other Three Fields comes mostly from dating people from them. I appear to have a particular weakness for archaeologists from New England. I mention this just to say that it was from one such that I learned of the true value and insight of “Bettina Arnold’s”:http://www.uwm.edu/~barnold/thome.html work (“CV”:http://www.uwm.edu/~barnold/resume.html), and I’m glad that del.icio.us led me recently to her homepage. While only her intro class is entitled “Fantastic Archaeology”:http://www.uwm.edu/~barnold/193.html I have no doubt that her other courses, such as those on “The Celtic World”:http://www.uwm.edu/~barnold/381_02.html or “Who Owns the Past”:http://www.uwm.edu/~barnold/641.html are equally fantastic. I mean, anyone who has both Peter Wells and K.C. Chang on their committee has basically got to be a good person, right?
