    I’ve been under the impression that articles were written by someone whose first language isn’t English and isn’t a trained scholar, so I was giving them a bit of slack.

    Do you guys have some better sources (specifically for archeology) that tread the line between overly academic and more accessible better? I’m not in the field, I just follow the RSS feed for this site, so I’m open to recs.

      Bro the article is sitting dexterity and strength like they attributes in a larp game. They’re literally confusing fiction and reality.

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.
