About

Archaeology or archeology[a] is the study of human activity through the recovery and analysis of material culture. The archaeological record consists of artifacts, architecture, biofacts or ecofacts, sites, and cultural landscapes.

Archaeology has various goals, which range from understanding culture history to reconstructing past lifeways to documenting and explaining changes in human societies through time.

The discipline involves surveying, excavation, and eventually analysis of data collected, to learn more about the past. In broad scope, archaeology relies on cross-disciplinary research. Read more...

Declare the Vatican a dig site, level the whole building, steal all the gold, and return it to the indigenous cultures it was stolen from. Piss on the pope, just for good measure.

When I was 7, my family took a trip to Italy. We went to the Vatican. While we were there, we discovered a little side door that was open and went inside. Inside were a dozen gold carriages used to carry Popes before they got cars. At 7 years old, I asked my parents why they didn't sell these and feed starving kids in Africa. Even a little kid can see the injustice.
