Digging is still a significant part of archaeology. Today archaeologists study every clue to the past to piece together the history of civilization. Even a garbage pit can help to reveal how people lived. Archaeology is partially about objects but mostly about people. The excitement of archaeology lies in building up a picture of human life thousands of years ago by connecting objects found in the ground and the people who left them there long ago. Day by day, archaeologists bring to light more of the past. By excavating the things ancient people made and used, they piece together a picture of life in ancient times. Since every excavated fragment adds to this picture, a piece of broken pottery can be just as important as gold. For example, finding a treasure in a 5.000-year-old tomb is exciting. Even more exciting is understanding why people put such a treasure there in the first place. Both the beauty of the things found and the clues they give about the past are great pleasures for an archaeologist. This book introduces us to some of the most impressive and exciting archaeological discoveries made since the 1800s. When the study of archaeology began.
