The archaeologist, as a trained academic, is applying a logical method of ‘removing’ eras of material obscuration, being careful to correctly observe the origin, construction, constitution, and positioning of said debris. Indeed, amassing this data is crucial for constructing a correct (contextual) historical narrative regarding the age, origin, purpose, and fate of the object being observed. If any of this analysis is false – then this falsehood permeates its way though the entire academic process – leading to incorrect assumptions and interpretations. Indeed, the history of archaeology is strewn with such numerous examples of misread data. The study of historical events is conveyed through many mediums, archaeology, art, culture, texts, film and audio recordings, etc. Some of this data is said to be eye-witness accounts – whilst others tend to be merely opinion at a distance.
