   @MelodyCooper @MarkHoltom I heard of a story about how, in a remarkably preserved town, they kept finding knives on high shelves. The male archologists/anthropologists went with the classic religious explanation - place knives closer to the sun or if worship.

   Once women came into the field they had a very different and practical idea - out of reach of children.

     @MarkHoltom I thought the same in my anthropology class since so much of it is about interpretation and who is doing the interpreting.
