Graffiti Archaeology?

I won’t mention Athena’s blog and how she’s taking apart alternative archaeology claims because I’ve got a post on Graham Hancock lined up for July 2.

Instead I’ll point out Savage Minds again where Suspirium Puellarum Celadus Thraex points out archaeology blogs I didn’t know of A Visible City and Graffiti Archaeology News.

I do remember vaguely seeing Graffiti Archaeology earlier in the year, struggling with the navigation and wondering ‘what’s the point?’ It works as art, but without any commentary on the subject is it archaeology? The collection of past images strike me more as Graffiti Antiquarianism. It might be something you do archaeology with, but without thought as to the meaning or use of the graffiti I can’t see how it is archaeological. Hopefully someone can correct me and point me to where the discussion of meaning is.

It’s probably just me being jealous for not having a Webby despite having this site running for literally weeks. 🙂
