Why Archeology?

I think even my friends were mystified by my choice of coursework...

Why would you want to spend hours digging up some long-decased-clan's barbeque-pit?

Um, because um...people really have trouble grasping something as simple as the daily trappings of life here in beautiful suburbia.

Built some distance from the local Coastanoan habitations, as mitigated by California Resources Management... for those who never recovered from the idea of homes built on native-American burial-sites breached in the film: Poltergeist.

As horrifying as concoctions of the imagination might be...without founding in any fact other than the incidental presence of bones...a somewhat likely byproduct of field-work in this para-bay region of California--evil spirits just aren't allowed..

I myself required a blessing from the local tribe:

A simple ritual of profound humility...and great reverence.

Artifacts ARE humanity in their former-livelihood.
