Topic overview
Learn the foundations of Archaeology.
Archaeology connects material evidence, excavation, dating, context, interpretation, and heritage ethics with practical decisions and tasks. Guided examples, comparison, practice, and feedback help members apply these ideas to building cautious explanations from artifacts, sites, and incomplete records. The goal is to make each step easier to explain, check, and improve.
