As an archaeologist I find this, as well as many Star Trek episodes, particularly exciting. The original series had many interesting episodes that involved the research of archaeologistst. The technology that these anthropologists have is mind boggling. If we could only analyze artifacts of the past and find other human beings' names we would be ecstatic. A race of dinosaurs managed to evolve in isolation on a remote portion of some continent on Earth. Some catastrophe occurred and sent them to the Delta Quadrant. But, as always, the government of dogmatists make it impossible for the archaeologists to pursue their research unabated.
