The high point in folly for 1976 came with the publication of America B.C. So far the best answer to all the nonsense about the ‘Chariot of the Gods’ school of archaeology is the small volume by Peter White, The Past is Human, Sydney, Australia, 1974, published by Angus and Robertson. And every year it becomes more and more important to distinguish between real archaeology, the product of knowledge and experience, and the non-archaeology or pseudo-archaeology being written by those eager to cash in on the ever present fascination with space gods and the clue that un¬ravels the mysteries of our ancient past. The number of books published in the general field of archaeology seems to increase every year.
