In 2008, I founded a group, Pagans for Archaeology<\/a>. I did that because I believe that without archaeology, we would know considerably less about ancient pagans and polytheists than we do today. I even wonder if the Pagan revival would have happened the same way without input from archaeological research.<\/p>\n

The Pagans for Archaeology Facebook page<\/a> now has around 15,000 likes \u2013 so even if many of those people haven\u2019t read the \u201cmanifesto\u201d of the group, that shows a very big interest in archaeology among Pagans.<\/p>\n
