One sometime wonders what "archeology" really means. We here at the Manor assume that it those site deserving of an archeology study should be akin to the received definition of "antique", meaning one hundred years old or older.
Well, apparently the term "archeology" means a the study of a "culture" or occurrence of near forty years. But that's what happens when "Baby Boomers" (among which this writer is a member, unfortunately) defines what is and is not historically important:

Let's face it. All that nonsense that went on in the late 60's and early 70's in popular culture was all nonsense and would best be forgotten. Archaeologists would be much better employed searching for bearing and skateboard wheels on Venice Beach. Who remembers hippies as anything but freaks? But kids are still skateboarding on your stair rails.
