I hate when people ask my opinion on x thing about the field and then, when I give it, they argue with me because it didn't fit with what they wanted me to say. Like! You asked!

#mandatory 'this is from a friend who i care for very much'#'we are STILL friends from my persepective'#it's just frustrating in that particular moment #this is about the whole 'British Celts were matrilocal' thing that's making airwaves #which my overall take is...i think the results are indicative of something #but i think that ultimately...we only have this as evidence #sweeping claims about iron age 'celtic' life should be made very cautiously #and i don't think that a lot of archaeologists who do this work have the necessary caution #...or the willingness to engage in things that aren't archaeology and don't fit their pre-formed opinions
