Good question. I knew someone who looked into “aircraft archaeology” as a project. Basically, you can’t do anything about “patterns of human behaviour” from crashed aircraft, but in some cases, these things are the only remaining evidence of certain elements of technology. I’ve seen P-40s in museums, but there are a number of aircraft of which the only known examplars are from wrecks.

What’s the difference between a Clovis point found in a farmer’s field and a P-40 found in the desert??
