Experimental archaeology ( replicating technology and discovering "how they did it") is one of the most interesting and plain fun aspects of the discipline. I love watching people "struggle" in a "hostile" environment where native peoples have thrived for eons. The latest P.C. term "first peoples" was created at an archaeological dig I was crewing. We only had one Andy Gump ( portapotty for our overseas members) I raced to it as our Chumash monitor did likewise. "Iwas first! No, I was. No, way! I was definitely here first. Hey! my people were here first!" As we argued a lovely girl from Sweden stepped in :O( We went into the bushes. " Hey Chris, are these bushes toxic? Why? er what are you doing with it? I thought you guys were intimite with the land, being the FIRST PEOPLE AND ALL" lol Small packets of TP are a usefull item in daily carry!
