Hmm. I thought paleontologists were simply interested in animal fossils, not human fossils.

You learn something new everyday.

I always enjoyed the statue of Washington which headlines Trafalgar Square.

https://www.military.com/history/george-washington-statue-london-british-soil.html "statue of George Washington, onetime citizen of Great Britain, father of the United States and rebellious colonial. In a square that marks one of Britain's greatest victories stands a reminder of one of its greatest defeats.

With a sharpened wooden arrowhead one can harden it in the ashes of a fire relatively easily.

Similarly, if / when it does blunt or splinter you can re-sharpen it relatively quickly.

The advantage of flint heads imo is more in terms of the amount of internal contusion and resultant blood loss happening a lot more quickly vs a wooden head that penetrates but also seals the wound.

Before formal science existed you weren't going to do much better than that. What's special is having workers that have say seen elephants before and can recognize the similarity.

It doesn't say they can't identify who they were enslaved by, learning and recording the names of slaves wasn't that common, and digging has been one of the most common labors in history. What exactly is your issue?

300 years later - Scientists are baffled after discovering a pristine, ornately decorated, mostly cylindrical chest-like box with pirate themed carvings, containing nothing more than 27 eye patches, a parrot feather and the answer to the riddle “What do we do with a drunken sailor”.

So the people that were here first found fossils first. What a shocker.

Fossils are studied by Paleontologists. The vast majority of times, fossilization takes at least 10,000 years so archeologist, who themselves specialize in studying remains of human activity, tend not to look for or study fossils.
