I always get a kick out of comments like "Objects were used for rituals, archaeologists think." Someday in the future they will discover a pile of cheap (or expensive) nicknacks from somebody's 21st-century house and say they were used for rituals. "The glass candle-holder must have been used in a ritual celebrating the extinct groundhog on its feast day."

A great old book if you can find it.
