Archeologists in the now:

(Old archeologists) The people of this archipelago were primitive because we found no interesting rocks.

(Young archeologists) Based on this boat we found sunk in deep fresh water they had a complex and refined woodworking culture 100k years earlier than your stone working civilization.

(Old archeologists) All these people walked here on a land bridge you know...

(Young archeologists) - rolls eyes in a 'racists will soon be dead' way.

Edited to add: In the time before cheap data, one of my waiting for bus activities was guessing what would survive of my belongings & surroundings if we were, say, buried in ash suddenly. What would future archeologists guess?
