ARCHAEOLOGY

Vita

Yeah, I feel like people are the most valuable resource. I mean, exactly what you said it's extremely labor intensive care work and it takes forever both the processing but also just doing the research. It's just like being so engaged with the artifact takes time. It's always interesting, because a lot of archaeologists apply to jobs when we post them and I'm like, oh, right, because this is archaeology.

These are artifacts. There's a process of literally digging them out of wherever they are, whether it's in the earth or a box or a box in the earth or whatever.

Vita

Exactly, these are the artifacts of now.

I'm kind of obsessed with the idea that the archive is something that we're actively learning from because I'm just like, what else is the point actually, like, what is the point of it if we're not doing that? What is this actually teaching us about life? Like, where we've been, where we are, where we can go, who we've been.I just really want it to be useful to people.
