Picture an archaeologist, a millennium from now, unearthing a commonplace item:  a discarded toilet. This artifact, once an integral part of daily life, could offer significant insights into our culture and societal practices. Firstly, the material design of the toilet might convey a great deal about our technological advancements and priorities. The craftsmanship and materials used could indicate the level of our sophistication and our emphasis on sanitation (or lack thereof) and comfort. The location where the toilet is discovered could also speak volumes. If it was around a lot more rubble perhaps stuff like plastics, non perishable foods and all the other long lasting items we have created they might see us as a consumer driven society valuing convenience and mass production (pretty accurate). However they might make wrong assumptions about hygiene and the way we care for ourselves based on the condition or area it’s located in. Or as the book I love that talks about this discusses perhaps the toilet was an ancient throne to worship the gods. The interpretation of a material object requires much nuanced understanding and consideration as it takes layers of both societal and basic knowledge to really understand what an item might be.
