What I learned about archaeology as people was to show me that we as people have been here for a long time with a well established way of living and a history spanning generations. How archaeology relates to place is by showing that people actually lived in these places and did not simply moved from place to place.
Personally Archaeology can mean a lot to people to as it does for me. It has helped open my eyes to all the extraordinary triumphs of our ancestors. It helps us see different ways that people communicated with each other across the vast trade routes that crossed the Americas. Finally, to me it forces us to ask the question of how archaeology can affect each of us personally and that it can help to change the way we see the past.
