Walter Taylor (archaeologist) Quote

It is possible to type automobiles on the basis of the length of the scratches in their paint, to classify sand tempered potsherds on the number of sand grains in each, or to group together all chipped stone points which have side notches. It would be possible, but the pertinent question is "So what?"
