I think I’ve found an artefact that is around 2million years old, hear in Britain. So, what do I need to do? Absolutely nothing! Because I’m the only one who recognises that it might be an artefact.
Isn’t that odd! The artefact doesn’t change, the age of the artefact remains the same, but because people do not recognise it as an artefact, that is what changes everything.
But, when you come to think of it, in any bag of sand, from most rivers, there will be many pieces that used to be part of something made by humans. Some of those could be the oldest pieces of man made material in Britain. Yet, they are just bits of debris that people throw away, because they do not recognise them for what they are.
