Historians and archeologists depend on human-made artifacts as clues to understanding and interpreting previous cultures. These historical objects give insight and lend credence to the influence of prior cultures on the present. Dataw Island is the present. Dataw Island is fortunate that Alcoa recognized this and employed experts to find, explain, and preserve what previous occupants left behind. Their refuse is our treasure.
