I just read Joe Joseph’s comments in the spring issue of the SHA Newsletter
on the “Valuing Archaeology Beyond Archaeology” workshop held in May. In it
he mentions NPS Barbara Little’s comment that the group should consider
“where the world would be without archaeology?” We generally do not think
about this when we conduct our respective digs and analyze the finds but
when you think about it, it really is amazing what archaeology has done to
bring past cultures to life, clarify historical events, and dispel various
cultural and political myths... not to mention providing employment for
tens of thousands of individuals around the world. Archaeology really does
matter.

Sorry for any cross-postings.
