"Excavating Memories, archaeology and home, touches on how we construct identity through things we keep by choice and by accident", says Elizabeth Mosier. Crucially it spotlights how we construct identity and express what we value through the things we keep by choice or by accident.

Often the stories sitting in the margins speak about the people who don't have a voice, who don't own property and who are not in the public records.
