“We forget that all archaeology is the result of human behavior, of people like ourselves. Like us, they were born and grew up, loved, got married, had children, and died. They negotiated with one another, quarreled, sometimes got in fistfights, were occasionally hungry, and revered their ancestors. We have a common bond over the centuries and millennia, epitomized by the left-handed stone worker at Meer. Archaeologists have rich, compelling stories to tell, but all too often we shy away from the challenge.”
(Brian Fagan)
This will always be one of my absolute favourite quotes about archaeology ever and as such everyone else needs to be informed of it
