Discussion and Debate: Myopic Misunderstandings? A Reply to Meyer (JMA 35(2), 2022)
JOURNAL OF MEDITERRANEAN ARCHAEOLOGY(2023)
Abstract
This paper engages with Nathan Meyers' (2022) paper 'Finding Sites in Mediterranean Survey'. Building upon longstanding critiques of Mediterranean survey practices, Meyer argues for a re-direction of survey practices. We feel that several of his core arguments reflect an unbalanced view on the role of site and off-site data in Mediterranean surveys, conflating intensive and siteless surveys. Moreover, while these critiques seem to us unnecessarily negative regarding the analytical potential of off-site data, they also reflect an overconfident attitude towards the use of site data for comparative purposes.
