architectural agendas - crossed archaeology

brian asks:
is archaeology the handmaiden, or handyman of architecture?

steve replies:
as it happens, today, may 3, is the feast of the Finding of the Holy Cross,
and St. Helena (the recently proclaimed first master architect of
Christianity) is the person attributed with having found the Holy Cross -- a
very interesting (and saintly)combination of archaeology and architecture.
