Abstract

Bernard Knapp's (2002) surprising response to an earlier exposé (Gale 2001) of misunderstandings in Knapp (2000) is challenged,further misunderstandings in Knapp (2002) are corrected, especially in regard to the non-existent opposition of science to social archaeology and the absence of fault lines' in Gale (2001), and about the source(s)of copper oxhide ingots, and the interpretation of lead isotope analyses. The call for cooperation and collaboration issued by Knapp (2002) is accepted.
