If women’s history is told truthfully and interpreted correctly, it can enlighten the present. Similarly, false testimony and faulty interpretation can do great damage. And that brings us to bones.
Archaeology is typically a topic that does not capture public attention. The process of uncovering ancient artifacts is incredibly slow; excavations can take years to complete, and the modern fast-paced world has little interest in observing the removal of dirt, one centimeter at a time. Typically, archaeological finds make the news only in instances of a grand discovery—like the arrival of humans in the Americas or the “world’s oldest†something.
