[QUOTE="Cthulhu's Librarian, post: 1324396, member: 11064"] I have my degree in Anthropology, with a concentration in Archaeology. When I was an undergrad, my advisor used to tell stories of people (grad students and professionals) he had encountered over the years, and the things they used to send in to labs for carbon dating and other forms of testing. Coke bottles, dog bones, coins, plastic, you name it. One story he was particularly fond of telling was about a guy who used to send stuff to the Smithsonian Institute that he dug up in his backyard. I have no idea of the truth to this, since I first heard this in 1994 when he read it in class, and it's all over the internet now. It had been passed around among archaeology faculty for a few years before it hit the internet. You can read it online [url="http://www.knowprose.com/reading/webread/letsmith.html"]here[/url].
