    Fantastic video. Very informative, and the upbeat tone of the narrators keeps it intriguing for every minute.

    What an intriguing intro for this video. The Cracker Jack bag made me think of all the caramel popcorn I overate before passing out a few hours ago, lol. 😌 I was sorry to see so much litter, though... Archaeologists would (thankfully) know very little about my life if they unearthed my possessions. I know that they study larger populations and more representative samples of people, but it still makes me wonder how many gaps in our knowledge or misconceptions exist.* The new archaeological tools sound cool - especially the GPR since it was listed twice. 😅 *This was addressed near the end of the video: with contextual interpretation and extant knowledge, "we can get pretty close," which may be good enough!

    Great video from the Smarthistory team as always! I know it's quite a tangent - but would love to know what you guys think of the new Da Vinci, Salvator Mundi work that was 'discovered' recently. Like alchemists, art historians seem to have this magic touch to turn once standard "in the circle of.." paintings into Old Masters worth almost a billion dollars. What kind of curatorial evidence is required to convince the art community to change their minds?

    Not all artifacts are buried deep in the dirt, as I have found many Native American artifacts on or near the surface of my yard. Some of them were inadvertently brought to my yard when the streets were being paved around my neighborhood in the 1980s. My dad actually lent our property to our city. They dumped lots of street dirt, here, consequently. 🗿

    Those gold looking objects looks awesome and it's so amazing how so much objects is found in all that dirt.

    Never any excuses for destroying archaeology, once its been disturbed the information is lost , the stratigraphy is the story.

    Splendid video! While on the topic of archeology, wasn't it together with antropology greatly developed and financed in Nazi Germany? I think it would be interesting to hear about that and what it meant for the two fields!

    ...found at. ? Did you just end a sentence with a preposition. Your videos are growing on me.
