Inquiry
Archaeology
Objects that outlived the sentences about them. You dig, you record, you stop when the layer says so.
It shares ground with history, museums, and the crafts that still know how those objects were made.
The discipline is as much about what you leave in the ground as what you lift.
On an Interest Map, the line we most often letter beside archaeology reads “objects that outlived their sentences.” It tends to meet history, museums, and ceramics.
Work that shares the table
A book that keeps it company
