Archeological Sites

Archeology is defined as the study of human history and prehistory through the excavation of sites and the analysis of artefacts and other physical remains. It is no wonder, therefore, that the images related to archeology are so numerous! From etchings, watercolors, and historic photos of archeological digs and discoveries to postcards, posters and photos of actual artifacts as well as photos and videos of their restoration and conservation.
