R. E. Taylor on the Two Cultures

The century-long minority status of prehistoric archaeology, while embedded within American anthropology, has generally meant that archaeologists have accommodated and positioned themselves within the context of the existing dominant reality of the disciplinary structure. This dominant reality was most often focused on a sociocultural anthropology whose focus was, at best, incidental and, at worst, hostile to topics and issues of relevance to the pursuit of archaeological scholarship.
