Believe me, if Archaeologists could discover the past in wood, paper or cloth, they would. However, over time, materials, such as paper or cloth that may have contained important historical information, have been known to deteriorate (to wear away). This is why Archaeologists prefer to look for information in pottery, mosaics etc.

Why are artifacts and bones important to archaeologists?
