Doesn't matter that it's crap if it contains an interesting verb form
not seen before, or mentions an historical fact only known previously
from a single source.
Like the Roman or ancient Greek version of misspelled words, improper
grammar, "hillbilly english", street slang, etc?

On the
other hand, the archaeologists are not qualified to judge
the value of the bad poetry and horrid prose to the linguists and
and to the historians, who almost certainly will not agree with
each other, either.
True, but I bet the "90 percent of everything is crap" rule applied
back then as it does now.
