There are some bad assumptions in this article too about the limits of archaeological evidence. There's no allowance for preservation differences (e.g. wooden fortifications are going to be very hard to identify in the per-historic arch. record, etc)

having excavated a wooden palisade, let's just say that that's complicated. And it's a nuance that Bellamy was not prepared to deal with here. But the other driving assumptions are just batty.
