Archaeology and the Druids

Unlike a lot of sensational reports, this one is properly cautious about the dangers of interpreting a society from physical evidence alone:
There’s a joke among archaeologists: Two of their kind, in the future, find a present-day public toilet. “We’ve discovered a holy site!” cries one. “Look, it has two separate entrances,” says the other. “This here,” he says, pointing to the door with a pictogram of a woman, “was for priests. This is evident by the figure wearing a long garment.”
This reminded me of Digging the Weans (excerpt here), and Motel of the Mysteries.
