Introduction t o Archaeology, 5th Period

[the-ascended.livejournal.com]

"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."

Blair signs in...and looks around for Molly.

Molly signed in and sat down without looking at Blair.

Pippi signs in and doesn't look or not look at anything in particular.

Blair stood up and looked at the front of the room. "I believe that Archaeology is rubbish compared to living, breathing people. Some people are more important than history, than artifacts, than grades, even more important than public humilation."

He turned and looked over at Molly. "I'm so sorry for what I said earlier, it embarrassed you and I'm sorry I didn't explain why I said it either. I hope you'll give me a chance to talk to you and explain what's going on with me."

Blair looked around at the room and Professor Jackson and blushed brightly before sitting down. Hopefully he wouldn't get into too much trouble for hijacking the class.

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".
