In the office of a typical archaeologist, you would expect to find things like stone tools, pottery fragments, and maybe even a few Wooly Mammoth bones.

Wrong. Its books and computers now. I have three computers and have long since covered the two windows with extra book cases. (Didn't like that view anyway.)

And I have a private office upstairs with 48 feet of additional bookshelf (all full) and another computer.

You can never have to many books.

A few years ago, I saw a NG special on this area (described in this article) and one archaeologist said that it would have taken a population of 50 million to do all that work.
