Introduction t o Archaeology, 5th Period

"Okay, first of all I want to set your midterm. It will comprise of an essay, the title of which is on the board."

"Archaeology is rubbish. Discuss."

Daniel grins, knowing that this can be taken both ways. He's interested to see how his students respond to it.

"Okay, I'm going to give you today's class time to make a start on it, or ask me questions because this was posted so late."

Pippi discusses something that her Grandfather Fabe used to say, which was "You can tell a lot about a crew from their jetsam".

When one is actively engaged in the finding of things one generally finds things that have been lost, thrown away, or otherwise left behind. If one can visit a respectable institute as the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History and look at fossilized dinosaur dung, one could certainly say that archaeology is "rubbish".
