so i was reading about these new excavations in egypt and it got me thinking... are we really doing it right? i mean all this focus on preserving the site and avoiding contamination but whats the point if were not actually learning anything new? seems like were just uncovering stuff to stick it in a museum and call it a day. shouldnt we be trying to get to the bottom of what actually happened at these sites? not just collecting artifacts but really understanding the context
