The Meaning of Archaeology - a student perspective

 (By Shelley Reece)


“What am I doing here?” 

This question, once voiced, gave everybody in Row 63 of the Western Sector a moment’s pause. 

Heads that had been bent in diligent archaeological silence raised tentatively, and glances were exchanged. 

There was no doubt that we were all asking ourselves this question, and inexplicably, we all began to giggle.

Amid the laughter, the questioner continued.
