Investigator-provocateur Earle Spamer, upon hearing the lament of a hard-core non-science student faced with the prospect of having to fulfill “The Science Requirement,” suggests:
Alas, what better science course to take than Archaeology? Other than having to use a meter stick, there is no math required. What other science requires that one study a subject about which relatively very little is understood, work surrounded by dirt and dust, do research with spoons and toothbrushes, keep secret the exact location of your study area, leave most of the area unstudied, and place that which you do uncover (mostly bits of pots and everyday trinkets) in drawers inaccessible except to authorized scholars, usually in another country?
