Archaeology – Garbology
The exercises completed successfully. The density of trash that I produced per square meter in term of items was ten. This can be attributed to the locations that I visited; bus station, playground and parking slot. Some of the people did not take the responsibility upon themselves to throw their trash in the designated zones. Likewise, the areas have many people that are likely to throw trash in the areas.
The thrash materials varied at different places times of the day and days of the week. This is because of the many people in the areas and the availability of different products that people buy and use such as sweets. The materials ranged from polythene bags, newspapers and many others. For instance in the bus park, there was a lot of trash such as peels, polythene bags, sweet wrappers and many others. This is because; many passengers usually bought these products for their consumption.
The categories of the thrash indicate that people responsible for the thrash are costumers or people that buy products for consumption. This includes adults and even young people. Trash such as bottles indicates that these are adults as well as young people. Therefore, this indicates that all the people visiting the area are responsible for the trash. The reason why these trashes are found at these particular times is because, this is the time that many people are taking their meals and doing their shopping as well as travelling. Therefore, the trash is expected to increase. Second is that, at this time, the people responsible for collection of the trash have not yet collected it. The trash is normally collect in early mornings and therefore, the rest of the day, people litter the areas with the trash.
