Bad Archaeology

http://badarchaeology.wordpress.com/

The human past is a constant source of interest to members of the general public. However, they often receive information from non-reputable sources, which in turn generate fanciful, exaggerated, and misguided views about archaeology, artifacts, and past cultures. Run by archaeologistĀ Keith Fitzpatrick-Matthews, theĀ Bad Archaeology blog seeks to combat these views, providing in-depth overviews of sites and artifacts that have generated considerable speculation and misinformation. Posts work to expose how distorted views of the past arise and how they are at odds with extant archaeological research. The academic tone and length of the articles may turn off causal readers, but for those looking for detailed debunkings of pseudo-science and poor scholarship, the Bad Archaeology blog has much to offer.
