How do we get to new places?
Initially, there was a specific living area, which served as a base, and the scope gradually expanded, and the ability to move was slowly developed.
How do we decide to go from where we are to where we are? Once upon a time, the destination always seemed clear. Someone had always marked the place before us: a river junction, a particular tree, or a cave. Beyond those specific locations, everything else was just a path. Of course, some people prefer to find their own unique landmarks on seemingly destinationless roads. Strangely, when we finally arrive in an unfamiliar place, we can always gradually understand the entire new area from every little piece of life we ​​encounter.
...Afterwards, the city is a dynamic space. Looking down from a distant lens, in each frame, everyone is going somewhere, and there is a specific connection between their current location and their destination. This means that as long as the reason for one person's path is clarified, there is a chance to connect the relationships of all people.
But why do people decide to choose a particular place and live there continuously?
Archaeology, through excavation, finds a starting point, traces clues, and explores the origins of human life and development. Archaeology, which we often think is so distant from us, actually reveals this through various methods of excavation and interpretation. In reality, humans are three-dimensional creatures caught in the web of time. Therefore, if we are willing to slightly adjust our conceptual understanding and attitude toward the dimension of time, and not cling to linear time, then, at every moment, while we are shaping the surface, we can also be carving away at the traces of history beneath, altering the past: we can take a pickaxe and pound it down—that pickaxe is our own life—examining and observing each unearthed archaeological object, repeatedly reinterpreting our own imagination of our lives.
