When University of Cincinnati researchers uncovered the tomb of a Bronze Age warrior —left untouched for more than 3,500 years and packed with a spectacular array of precious jewelry, weapons and riches—the discovery was hailed by experts as "the find of a lifetime."

Now, only a year after archaeologists completed the excavation [near the city of Pylos, an ancient city on the southwest coast of Greece], new understandings of the artifacts—particularly the discovery of four golden rings—and the insights they provide to the origins of Greek civilization may prove to be the team's next big discovery.

  I anticipate at least four papers about each of the four rings. Draw out the publication to keep your name in the journals, keep that funding coming, and attract the supple mouths of nubile grad students who want to suck off the popular researcher. It's how science happens.

  No, that's how funding happens. Science is what happens despite the need to pander for funding.
