Context helps archaeologists figure out who used the artifacts, how they used them, and even when they used them. Moving the artifacts out of context destroys the story of the site. Archaeological sites and artifacts are part of our shared past. Looting deprives all Americans of a clear understanding of our past.

My archaeology, to you I write.
How I love the way you explain,
Invading my mind day and through the night,
Always dreaming about the magallanes.
​
Let me compare you to a large crowbar?
You are more lithic and anthropological
Old storms whip the twiglets of October,
And autumntime has the grey murder charge.
​
How do I love you? Let me count the ways.
I love your mythic memoir and remains.
Thinking of your monuments fills my days.
My love for you is the logical reigns.
​
Now I must away with a boric heart,
Remember my bold words whilst we're apart.
