I wonder what future archaeologists will think of these sites. I can imagine a 'Time Team Special' in 2250 with a descendant of Dr. Phil Harding exclaiming, "It don't make any sense...there's mud 'uts and laser guns 'ere side-by-side! I think we gotta put in another trench...with two hours left on the last day o' the dig."
