When handling archaeological human remains gets weird
We’re all professionals, but sometimes you catch yourself realizing how weird things are looking when handling human remains
Trying to shake out clumped together dirt from someone skull
Brushing someone’s teeth with an actual toothbrush, something they have never done in their lives
Comparing someone’s bones to yours
Judging their dental hygiene
When the earworm of the day is Johnny Cash’ s “Ain’t No Grave”.
Scooping someone’s eye sockets clean with a spoon (or just their whole brain)
When some bones are just … off … you judge hard
Talking in your head to them as if they can hear you
