I found something!

Well, not really. Not anything important anyways, but something cool. I found a 2,500 year old footprint! It was in a floor level I was excavating in my area. I guess even in ancient times people liked to leave their mark- much like writing in wet concrete now. Sometimes we archaeologists forget that we're excavating the daily lives of real people. It's strange to think that I was in the

exact same spot the person who left that footprint walked, 2,500 years ago. Who were they? What was their life like? How did they see the world? Were they anything like us?

I know I can't answer those questions, but trying to is why I love archaeology.
