Is the physical evidence or place of past human activity: a site, object, landscape, structure; or a site, structure, landscape, object or natural feature of significance to a group of people traditionally associated with it. - U.S. National Park Service.
Under the earth's surface, a story of past peoples and cultures lies buried, an unwritten history waiting to be discovered and explored.
Archaeology uncovers, studies, and interprets what has been buried in the past and brings forth new insight into where we live, who we are, where we come from, and the evolution of the traditions behind human behavior.
