PRchaeology 

The study of past developer work and thought processes by the recovery and examination of remaining immaterial evidence, such as pull requests, commit messages, tickets, and Slack messages.

Steve knew that it was going to take some deep PRchaeology to figure out why the code was architected in this seemingly insane way.

Steve knew it was going to take some dedicated PRchaeology to figure out why the former developers implemented this seemingly insane architecture.

Facebook Archaeology 

To dig up old facebook posts by liking or commenting, flooding people's facebook spaces with posts and statuses from five years ago or older. This practice is most successful when done to posts made before facebook likes were implemented, staking the archaeologists' claim.

"Oh man, my wall is filled with embarrassing prom photos. Looks like someone did some facebook archaeology last night."

1. (What archaeology should be) You've started your archaeology course. It's the first day, you have your hat, whip and designer stuble and are ready to go and kick ass. Everything is exciting, there are always nazi scum to shoot, imprisoned children to free and artefact s to "rescue". If you are an archaeologist you can also get laid easily.

2. What archaeology is :( . You're there, on your uni course, let's say in Exeter for example. Pen in hand. Peering around the lecture theatre at various other odd looking characters that look like they should never have been allowed to leave wales , sommerset or whatever random back country they escaped from. There's hours of looking at dendrochronology, pollen diagrams, and geophysical bull shit. (That's not the good kind of pollen either :( ) Archaeology causes insanity, a strong accent and excitement over broken ceramics .

Avoid at all costs. Unless you are already displaying archaeology symptoms, then you may well enjoy.

*queue theme music* Look at him killing all those nazi's! He must have done archaeology!

This week you will be looking at carbonised grain and what it can tell us about past cultures and how they farmed.
