Abstract:

As an archaeologist, I found Mara Keller’s assessment of the discipline and Marija Gimbutas’ contributions to it in the August 1998 issue of The Pomegranate both inaccurate and disturbing. Keller’s portrayal of archaeologists is a parody of the discipline a half century ago, while she uncritically accepts Gimbutas’ Interpretations which are fraught with very real problems.
