Which sciences are welcome?
A now-deleted question involved archaeology, linguistics, and history.  There were some downvotes and critical comments, and the author deleted the question.  I don't know whether the downvotes were because of the scope or for other reasons, but it sent me to the FAQ to see what we say about our scope, and it talks about science broadly.

I'm wondering if we have some people who think this community is about *hard* sciences and others who think it's about *any* sciences.  I've been assuming the latter, but I don't see where we actually say so, and perhaps I've misunderstood.

Which sciences are in scope?
