I might have put some of these up before so bear with me. From the things I've been finding here in this corner of Kent, there's been people living here since the ice retreated about 10 thousand years ago. I've found Mesolithic tools, Celtic tokens, Roman glass and ceramics, Saxon pottery, Medieval tiles and then the usual later stuff like money and pottery. I'll take some pics of more finds tomorrow but for now here's a few bits and pieces Mesolithic arrowhead This should have had another notch cut out of it to take a cord lashing but it hasn't been finished. I'm guessing that it pinged off someone's leg while they were making it and wasn't found again till I dug it up
I sometimes wonder what future archeologists would find - If something happened to our civilizations, and humanity rebooted again after several aeons??? Plastic doesn't degrade, so lots of that still will still be around... Machinery made out of metal also wouldn't go away so easily... Many books, information, too will be preserved in some pockets, (like the dead see scrolls). Data stored on magnetic and optical media too will survive... But most embarrassingly, where we today find pottery and tools around riverbanks. Future archeologists will find discarded murder weapons, (which criminals throw away to get right of the evidence). However this isn't likely to happen. Because we have today attained spaceflight. So humanity has already left marks on the Moon, Venus, and Mars. As well as on some Moons of Jupiter. Plus some Astroids too. So we are never going to go out of existence so easily. Not unless there's an extinction level event ELE. Which killed off the dinosaurs. Not likely to happen. Because within the next 25 years humanity will be living in space too. So even an ELE on Earth will not finish us off. But sometimes I still do wonder...
