But how much time did hunter-gatherers or even more recent farmers have for things like Rubik's cubes and jigsaw puzzles? Grown-ups didn't have much time or energy for pursuits not directly involved with survival, did they? Not enough media to have marketing. Passing fads would probably have remained within a tribe. Ritual object(?)s might have been a daydreaming potter's cast-asides. Don't know enough to say.

I don't doubt we will baffle future archaelogists.

What we need to do is get a group together to spend a weekend making a whole bunch of "fetishes" just to leave lying around the country.

Actually, the best information available is that hunter-gatherers spend *less* time than any subsequent people in daily food gathering; the advantage of agriculture is that you can support more people, not that it's less work.
