Happy International Archaeology Day! This holiday sacred to all the dirt nerds you know was founded by the Archaeological Institute of America @archaeology_aia and is now an international day of public education and fun events! I hope you are all celebrating by digitizing family photos, asking your elderly loved ones about life when they were young, playing outside in the dirt, mending all your broken dishes, and burying trash in your yard for my colleagues to find later.

Follow me for unfiltered archaeology! #archaeology #realindianajones #history #soil #section106

Archaeology also helps us think critically about how the past is used (and misused) in modern and contemporary political and social systems. I think many people would be very surprised to learn that a lot of our present day sociopolitical structures are derived (often erroneously!) from ancient peoples and our assumptions about them.

Archaeology also provides a lot of the baseline data used in climate science research to recreate prior climates and biomes prior to the industrial revolution that sparked major global climate change! Moreover, we often are studying how societies adapt and change during climate catastrophes.

Patterns of disease and studies of them. Studies of traditional medicines practices. Yet when I was a student it allowed me to give voice, witness, and the ability to walk with those who came before. We feel disconnected to people who are not part of our living memory. We make the past people immortal in our own way.
