I think that unless you have a direct cultural association with something like stone tools or pottery, it is definately the human element of the human remains, or perhaps also the anthropomorphic representations, that evoke the most powerful feelings of connection. This should not be surprising though, given the nature of archaeology: understanding OUR past through the material culture of past people.
It would be interesting to hear the opinions of those involved in paleo excavations or those specialising in rock art or lithics. Perhaps someone who has worked at Olduvai or some other such site.
