    When two spelunkers investigated what they thought was trash in a cave in Mexico, they discovered more than a dozen artifacts dating back centuries.

      That’s an insane find, but merely reading about wading through water inside a cave with only a 15cm air pocket between the surface and the ceiling is giving me claustrophobia.

    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.
