Archaeology

Archaeology, which you can also spell archeology, is the science of finding stuff that people who have been gone a long long while have left behind. Otherwise it's just your typical day after a party.

The word archaeology has its roots in the Greek words archaeo for ancient and logia, meaning discourse.

 

 



Get Involved

How can you tell whether the skeleton you dug up in your backyard is male or female? This and many more fine things are taught at your local archaeology introduction class.

And if you are slightly enthused but not yet a pro, archaeology introduction classes are the way to go.

Check for example the ones provided by  Archaeology Scotland.

 

What Else?

Learn why archaeology is so important, for example, in the case of the Etruscans.

 

And here is a map of the archaeological sites in Mexico:

And if regular archaeology is too slow for you, try speed archaeology.
