Appreciation post: Working on that Bronze Age site in Cyprus completely changed how I see 'simple' pottery shards.
After spending a week meticulously mapping a single broken pot's pieces across a 2-meter square, I now understand that every fragment tells a specific story about trade and daily life, not just 'old stuff', so what's the most mundane artifact that actually taught you something huge?

My undergrad dig found a single fish vertebra that rewrote the local diet timeline.

That's wild how one small find can change everything. It must have been crazy to hold that piece of history. What kind of fish was it?
