Archeologists- what remnants of modern society will tell our story in 10,000 years?
I’ve been reading a lot about the Indus Valley Civilisation. It seems for IVC the only artefacts that remained were made of stones, brick and clay. Archeologists have tried to learn what ever they can from these remains.
Similarly, what artefacts would remain from our civilisation 10,000 years from now? Since a lot of our existence is now digital, would a future archeologist even learn about our pop culture if there are no stone carvings or cave paintings from our times?
