 What is archaeology?

Back One What can we find out from archaeology?
Archaeologists try to find out about what it was like living in the past by looking at the things people made and used. They look for clues (evidence) rather like a detective, and then see if they can build a picture from them.

Archaeologists often need to dig to find evidence, which has been covered by soil.
