Begging your pardon, kind sir. You err.

Most of what was in the museums was outside the temporal range of our
brief as historical archaeologists. Nice, but not within our scope.

The plastic plumbing, however, is quite appropriate to the discipline
that supposedly embraces culture of the era of European expansion.
What could more appropriately symbolize the depth and meaning of
American and European culture of the twenty-first century than
plastic crapper parts?
