"Thousands of ancient treasures that have been unearthed by climate change
could soon be lost to humankind forever, as they are eroded by weathering and
eaten by pests. The crisis is so extreme that some archaeologists are urging
colleagues to abandon their current field sites and focus instead on these
newly exposed relics before they vanish."
Looks like there is a pressing need for more funding for archaeology. Other
fields of study benefit from an expanded historical record.
