While one of the issues facing current historians and archaeologists is the lack of evidence of the past, for future historians and archaeologists, it will be an overabundance of evidence. The future historian will have available to him many different narratives of the same historical event. Constructing a new narrative from these contradictory sources will be as hard as the task of filling in blank pieces that contemporary historians need to do to come up with their historical narratives.
