Do you think of archeology as a science?

Now let us make it a bit harder, do you think of history as a science?

It is a science only if you are head of the department and the final
say-so on the granting of degrees. Otherwise it is open for discussion
and interpretation. That is why they have journals and conferences.

There is much debate over history's classification of academe, for
instance in the United States the National Endowment for the Humanities
includes history in its definition of a Humanities (as it does for
applied Linguistics)[14]. However the National Research Council
classifies History as a Social science.

It would. Social Science is a non-subject which continually tries to
justify itself and put itself on a higher plane than it really is. It
would love to align itself with the much more rigorous discipline of
history.

I will say that the intelligence services tend to hire people with at
least some history courses, even preferring someone who knows when the
Cuban Missile Crisis was over a nice body and blonde hair. Not so in
the executive branch.

From what I read the intelligence agencies are hiring number one for
political correctness.

They would have little need for recruiting blacks and they only need a
few Hispanics what they need is Chinese, Russians and Muslims from the
North Africa to Pakistan.
