The museum docents call them archaeologists. I've been there. Although 
it's not open to the public, visitors could take behind the scenes tours 
last year. So I did. 

The site is very interesting. It is located in a beautiful rural setting 
surrounded by gardens and water features. The museum is clearly adopting 
traditional museum interpretive techniques and has engaged in solid 
planning...indentifying misison and vision statements and implementing a 
strategic plan. They are studying audience and have a clear story line and 
message. 

Although I accept evolution and am trained as an anthropologist and 
therefore can't buy into their message, I appreciate the techniques they 
are using to share it. I do find it quite disconcerting to see "our" well 
studied museum techniques...um...co-opted to tell a clearly non-scientific 
message. 

Whether you understand the scientific definition of the word theory, or 
not, this is a museum worth visiting and observing.
