        Sheli smith,a university of arizon shopmore had strained her white lab coat with blotches of yellow,brown,and green.”when i told my mom,that i was studying garbage,she freked out,”miss smith said”since i’m an archeology student she tought i was supposed to dig up old pots”

        the spring semester analyzing the contents of 3000 bag of garbage from tucson household.while the study turned up some weird situations it also led to some  conclusion that would have to be closed as anthropological the student,who called themselves garbage,took turns working at the city sanitation department yards.their head quarter was a faded blue school bus.  

Assistant professor of authropology William J. rathje prefer to call his garbage projecj ”le project du garbage”. All archilogist  study anctien garbage  for his purpose. Rathje said ”the project has grown a little each years” now, I have an assistant director freed Gorman and a field director willson hugles. From preliminary studies we can that tuchson is wasting more than eigh thousand dollars worth of meat each years.

Willson hughes, the tower lower income house hold were buying choicer curs and using all they could. It also appears that lower income group purchase more costly educational toys and materials. They also buy more household sanitation items more liquer and more  bread and vitamins. Hughes said that we did not know whose garbage we were studying, the researches weighed and measured the volume of the garbage. The cost were recorded when possible the garbage was divided into 133 categories and listed by code. None of the researcher was allowed to keep item found. Something were kept by  the university for what rathje hope will became a garbage museum.

There are possibilities that the data can be used by sociolqists, marketing consultant, nutrition and health organization and waste management specialist. It has long been assumed by archeologist that waste or conspicours consumtion in ancient societies, middle income families ten to discard large amount and edible of useful item. This contras between modern and ancient use of materials may be due changes in thr structure of society, or it maybe  that archeologist will considers modern finding on resource management as alternative explanation of past behavior.
