The article discusses the relationship between archaeology and the documentation of places, objects, and people. It highlights the use of photography in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as a tool for categorizing and inventorying the past. The article also explores advancements in archaeological methodology, such as the emphasis on stratigraphy and the use of the Harris matrix and radiocarbon dating. It discusses how archaeologists have used survey approaches and technological tools like lidar to track changes in landscapes and analyze contextual relationships over time. The article also delves into the personal experiences of archaeologists in the field, including their reactions to extreme weather events and the disappearance of natural features like lakes and forests. It concludes by introducing the Journal's decision to include photo essays as a way to convey the diversity of experiences and challenges faced by archaeologists in specific places and times.
