I don’t agree with all of his ideas, but I certainly have a deep respect for him. He had a profound (and overall positive) effect on archaeology as a field.

His theories may have been dickish, but if nothing else he induced some excellent research in the mad scramble to prove him wrong.

Like him or loathe him his work has been a key component of every undergraduates experience of archaeology and I was sad to hear he had gone.

As much as Archaeological theory was supposed to have ‘moved on’ from him and his ilk, as someone who studies the Lower Pal, his work is still of much more use in the data poor context of this period.
