If you love learning about the past, digging in the dirt, or doing scientific
experiments, archeology may be for you. Archeology is the study of past cultures
based on the material they left behind. Scientists, called archeologists, learn
about the past by studying artifacts, buildings, and monuments. An artifact is
any object made by human beings such as tools, pottery, and jewelry. Studying
buildings and monuments such as the Egyptian pyramids and the Roman Colosseum
can teach us many things about past cultures.
