I was at work yesterday when I saw a magazine sitting in a spot where magazines should not be. "Oooohhh," I said as I picked it up and began to thumb through it. I started asking whose it was, and everybody played dumb. My demeanor wasn't angry or upset, more like a kid who's found something cool.
And to me I was a kid who'd found something cool. "Well, if anyone asks about it," I said as I took it back to the office to squirrel away until later, "tell them I have it." I would've relinquished it. I'm not an ogre.
The magazine was simply titled Archaeology. It's the publication of the Archaeological Institute of America, situated at Boston University.
This issue is very cool and action packed, with articles on ancient lost cities of Persia, the Peruvian adaptations to the victorious conquistadors, and the pre-auto industry two century history of Detroit. They even delve into the DNA of the Black Death and Australopithecus footprints scanned by a computer showing off the true shape of their foot.
Must be a nerd to be as excited as I am about snatching up this magazine. It helps stretch out my brain and get my creative and connection-making juices flowing.
