Archaeology:
Civilization is a complex idea made up of culture, law, language, commerce, religion and art.

  • How does archaeology help to record and examine changes throughout time?
  • How do archaeology projects change the interpretation of prehistoric cultures? How does research on the artifacts uncovered continue to reshape concepts from pre-history to the early times of recorded history?
  • Are contemporary archaeology projects a basis for understanding history or a desecration?
