I loved that picture so much, the brick walls, the openings for windows and the doorway. Since I saw that picture I have always wanted to be an archaeologist. But until now I didn't know anything about archaeology except for that archaeologists dug up artifacts and cleaned them afterwards. In this report I'm going to talk about what archaeology is, it's history, how people become archaeologists, how archaeologists find sites, what they do when they find a site, what they find on a site and how archaeologists find out how old the artifacts are. Archaeology is the study of old objects called artifacts.
Archaeology is a Greek word that means the study of everything ancient.
Archaeologists are the people that study archaeology. Archaeologists dig very carefully to look for artifacts that may be thousands of years old. Artifacts are anything made by humans. Archaeologists study old jewelry, tools, houses and any other artifacts they find to learn about people and animals that lived in the past. An excavation is a site or dig where archaeologists look for artifacts.
