Top Highlights
“What is archaeology? Archaeology is the study of the past based on human material culture. So what does that mean? It means that archaeologists learn about the past by looking at the remains of anything that humans manufactured and left behind.” (source)
“Archaeology basically is a process of destruction, because once you have dug that dirt out of the ground, once you have taken that stone out, you can never put it back the way it was.” (source)
“Anything that humans manufactured and left behind—what does that tell us about the people of the past?” (source)
“So every single part of archaeology always boils down to the work in the laboratory, which is ten times the amount that we spend in the field.” (source)
“What I like to say about archaeology is that it’s not an exact science, not a hard science, because it’s an experiment that cannot be replicated. You cannot duplicate the experiment. You get one bite of the apple when you are an archaeologist and that’s it.” (source)
