I keep wondering if many archaeologists read conclusions into their finds that they would like to see rather than what is truly there.

That's why science has rules, that's why peer review is so important, and that's the difference between feeling and thinking. Science helps to counter our normal human tendencies to imagine things that may not be there.

This is true but as with the 'scientic conclusions' on global warming, they drew the conclusions they wanted to see rather than what was truly the cause, the sun.
