Garbology

Last week our archaeology lecture briefly touched upon the University of Arizona Garbology project. Led by Dr. Rathje, archaeologists use archaeological techniques to examine modern day trash.  Researching since the '70s, garbology archaeologists have discovered all kinds of things about us and the stuff we throw away.

Check out this short video and a short piece by Dr. Rathje himself about the project.
