you know it's not even that, but when an archaeologist shits on history, you bet your ass that historians WILL come for you.

there is massive disdain among archaeologists (at least, many of the ones I have encountered, it's even in textbooks) for history.

i mean idgi but like I will rely on archaeology for my own stuff, since it is valid, but i don't understand why they would eschew history

like they are all equally valid disciplines, but with areas/histories of their own that are shitty, and they have limitations.

who not only writes articles that discuss the sorts of things that I, as a historian, would discuss, but then she says it is NOT history.

idk and when she gets stuff wrong, and she's corrected, she'll go back and edit the post with no acknowledgement of who corrected her.

you can tell I am bitter about this, but it drives me up the wall that people like this are held up as authority figures
