One point that Lyotard arguably got right was a healthy " incredulity toward metanarratives." . That of course includes Bibles as well as lesser grand narratives .
Childe ,as I had mentioned here recently , was one of our greatest archaeologists , we have stood on his shoulders as well as a few others and that has helped in appreciating the problems posed by some of their over arching ideas .
There was also a recent Kenny Brophy comment pointing out the problems with Childe's theories , nevertheless the tacit nod towards to his abilities remained .
