hobbyarchaeology
/ˈhɒbi ˌɑːkiˈɒlədʒi/nounVerified NewAlso in: Hobbyarchäologie (Deutsch) · armariología (Español) · placardologie (Français)
The excavation of a cupboard and the discovery of a previous self's hobby equipment.
Hobbyarchaeology surfaces the bread maker, the rollerblades, and the calligraphy set, each purchased in a year the household can date by them. The finds are admired, dusted, and reburied in the same cupboard with greater care than before. Every dig ends the same way: "we should take this up again," spoken while closing the door.
Etym. — hobby + archaeology — the study of past enthusiasms through their artifacts.
Rel. — gearloft
