I really enjoyed this daily create! I got a wicked good shot of a biface the other day and didn’t really have anywhere to share it since I didn’t have enough to write a blog post about it. This daily create allowed me to put my photo to good use, and to share my love and passion for archaeology. As I said in the photo caption, if more people cared about archaeology then we wouldn’t struggle with funding and demand for excavation.  People only care about large “wow” artifacts, and even then it only captures their attention for a few moments. By letting people know that “those little flecks in the ground” tell us that there was civilization living off this same land thousands of years ago, it really sparks their interest because it makes them think about the history of the land.
