mandrake begs for cash

[J. Eric Gilliland]

maybe?

I wish everyone a Happy Holidays,

Eric Gilliland

The archaeologist has a unique chance to determine empirically how preliterate cultures came to be 
as they were.  His use of technical procedures in reaching an ever more finely drawn chronological 
scale needs no apology; these are prerequisite to his determination of culture change through time, 
a subject in which he should be able to work with unique authority. 
-- G. W. Brainerd 1951
