Archaeology Quote #200 is from British novelist and children's writer Penelope Lively's latest book, Making it Up. In this series of short stories, Lively describes what her life might have been like had she taken another path. One of those roads not taken was as an archaeologist. In the chapter called "The Temple of Mithras", Lively's alter-ego Alice meditates on the noisy past, and that's where the quote comes from.
