Edit and expand?
[edit]I stumbled on this page, and I think it could be expanded and edited a good bit. I won't be able to dedicate as much time to it as I'd like, so if there's anyone else out there watching this page and would like to help...
I think that the sentence "Archaeology can also be used to study the past alongside history" is a little awkward and redundant. The sentence immediately preceding it may not be necessary either, and I think it's a bit misleading to draw a line between history and archaeology as fields of research, as one informs the other. Archaeologists do study written documents, and historians do look at things other than texts.
Also, I think the use of the term "rage" here is a little loaded. In more neutral language:
Such a lack of concrete information means that prehistoric archaeology can be a contentious field but debates over theoretical frameworks and interpretation of artifacts have done much to inform archaeological theory. Knittatron 16:15, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
