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...

Rules

  1. Don't throw mud. Be kind and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. No pseudoscience/pseudoarchaeology.

We’re going to need to stop all coal mining in the area. For historical reasons not at all connected to our future.

You're not wrong, I'm really behind on vacuuming.

Wow, that's far bigger than I was expecting considering how far Serbia is from the sea. I know the Danube is a big river, but still, this is over 600 km from the mouth as the crow flies
