About
Archaeology or archeology[a] is the study of human activity through the recovery and analysis of material culture. The archaeological record consists of artifacts, architecture, biofacts or ecofacts, sites, and cultural landscapes.
Archaeology has various goals, which range from understanding culture history to reconstructing past lifeways to documenting and explaining changes in human societies through time.
The discipline involves surveying, excavation, and eventually analysis of data collected, to learn more about the past. In broad scope, archaeology relies on cross-disciplinary research. Read more...

Who wants to go on a roadtrip to piss on said grave? Up yours, Plato.
Huh?
I have beef with him, tho TBF it's mostly CS Lewis's fault. Platonic ideals are social constructs, suck on that, fundagelicals who pretend to be intellectuals.
