The aim in 1998 was to extend both of the 1997 trenches in an attempt to acquire the following: data for environmental and economic reconstruction; a larger sample of material culture; additional materials for dating; and sediment samples for micro-stratigraphic analysis.
In 1998 the project aimed to complete the geomorphological survey in Wadi Ghuwayr and identify the critical sediments requiring dating by TL, which is proposed as an element of the 1999 fieldseason.
Throughout 1998, the work of the STUA continued to revolve round the Scottish Crannog Centre (SCC) and the crannog reconstruction in Loch Tay, although plans are now afoot to recommence excavations at Oakbank Crannog and a preliminary assessment survey will be carried out in the summer of 1999 to that end.
The New Archaeology, with its view of archaeology as a science and its emphasis on law-like generalities, held little appeal for many classical archaeologists, with their close ties to philology, ancient history, and the history of art.
Classical archaeology is characterized as a conservative field dominated by powerful institutions and resistant to change, but a field in which dissident voices have sometimes managed to be heard (Schliemann is cited as an example).
Chapters 5 and 6 move beyond Greek archaeology as it is to Greek archaeology as it might be, informed by the practice and philosophy of postprocessualism.
