I wouldn't exactly say that. We know plenty. But way to insult every archeologist out there in one fell swoop. Very efficient. 
Scientists, Law Enforcement, military actions, foreign policy....
It happens and in some circumstances is not intentional - just poor choice of words.
However, when it comes to history there is a point to be made with his comment. There seems to be a refusal, for lack of a better word, to challenge
already established and accepted beliefs. When information is present that may contradict the accepted facts, there seems to be a reluctance to
revisit the topic and look for clarification.
Now, with that being said im not a member of the scientific community. If the revisists do occur then they really need to find a better way to
communicate that to the public as a whole.
As it looks right now from this side of the fence it does appear that new info that could challenge accepted beliefs / research appaears to be
silenced. What I mean by silenced is there is no real effort made to let the public know the info is being looked at, let alone any announcements that
actually re-write history.
As I said, no offense intended, just pointing out my 2 cents on my perception of issues like this.
