Kimberly Wooten is an historical archaeologist with the California Department of Transportation’s Cultural Studies (Caltrans) Office in Sacramento, California. Dr. Dr. Maria Zolezzi Garibaldi is a fictional archaeologist with the California Department of Transportation & Interstellar Travel, specializing in ritualistic behavior in both human and non-human societies during the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Journey with us to the year 2167, where our intrepid archaeologist has made a fascinating discovery… a FOOB! Carefully cradled in its pale pink packaging, this breast prosthesis is thought to have had ritual purposes, and while the prostheses do not deteriorate over time, intact packaging has never been found before! This article uses humor and archaeology to discuss the author’s personal cancer experience and the association of the color pink with femininity and breast cancer. The author’s intention is to bring awareness and understanding to archaeologists working with disabilities on a daily basis.
