Seeing, say, a v. rudimentary religious site uncovered by recent archaeology, for me, is like being handed a child's drawing ...

... it's basically rubbish, technically speaking, but I absolutely see how much you cared about it, and will therefore keep it on my fridge!

Agreed, completely. It has the atmosphere, the wonder, the awe. But this is what I am calling an aesthetic rather than moral reaction.

By the way, off-topic: is your BoI event from last weekend online? And if not, will it be?
-
Not yet but soon, hopefully!
-
Cool. Wanted to get there for that day, but was struck down with a Very Bad Cold.
-
It would have been great to meet you!
-
Indeed! Next year, I hope. Unless you speak anywhere else in meantime. (Happy 2 LEND you my copy of "Not Saussure" - should finish by then!)
