Definition: Pseudo-archaeology is one of the burdens the romance of archaeology has dealt the profession. Kenneth Feder put it best, when he described pseudo-archaeology as the "non-scientific misapplication, misinterpretation, and/or misrepresentation of the archaeological record." (from Brian Fagan's Oxford Companion to Archaeology, p. 581-582).
