It’s a very interesting characterization of archaeologists as “defaulting” to something that’s their entire field of study.

Not criticizing; I just thought that was amusing.

And do they get a lot of flack for that? Perhaps you’ve been watching too much Stargate SG1.

    Archaeologists study a lot more than ritual spaces, many don’t even have anything to do with that. It’s a joke that archaeologists themselves make, because sometimes people get carried away and use it to explain things they’re unfamiliar with but aren’t ritual related.
