What is archaeology? Archaeology is a branch of anthropology, focusing on ancient and prehistoric cultures and civilizations. Archaeologists search and attempt to uncover artifacts and other evidence of human life in the distant past. This collection will uncover and dig-up images of such documented works.. Why not celebrate Archaeology Day on August 17th by taking a tour at a historical museum? Check out the mummies, and examine primitive tool displays. Consider what the science of the past may reveal about life in the present time.
