I guess one good thing about being an archeologist must be that history is added one year per year. You get to a ruin which has been messed up by Roman archaeologists, and their stuff is also artifacts. You get to a ruin messed up by Indiana Jones’s in the 1940’s or whatever, just note the location, your great^10 grandkids can come back and collect his hat as an artifact.
