The U.S. Capitol has over 500,000 artifacts in its collection, which are housed and cared for by the Architect of the Capitol. These artifacts include historical documents, paintings, sculptures, and decorative objects that reflect the history and culture of the United States.

The Ramnous archaeological site is the location of ongoing archaeological investigations into the remains of an ancient city from the fifth century B.C.E. It's accessible from Athens. It overlooks the Aegean Sea.

The site includes the remains of assorted public buildings, a fortress, a gymnasium, two temples, and a theater. There are graves whose decoration is considered works of art. These are the ruins that are available for visitor viewing. There are other parts of the site that are off limits, because of the archaeological work in progress.

Future generations will have a clearer answer (The mountain, to the climber, is clearer from the plain. Rubbayat of Omar Khayyam). The word 'modern' is beginning to have a quaint, almost antique sound. We have entered the 'atomic' age, an age that we have not yet successfully negotiated, but I think the prize will go to 'information age' when all the dust settles.... assuming we haven't gone up in atomic mayhem. Or you may prefer the more prosaic '21st Century'.

Geologically speaking, we are in the Quaternary Period.

Byzantine artists created mosaics by arranging small pieces of colored glass or stone into intricate patterns and designs. The pieces were often set in plaster or cement to form large-scale images. The mosaics were used to decorate churches, palaces, and public buildings, showcasing religious scenes, portraits, and elaborate geometric designs.

The spelling "artefact" is a variant spelling of the word artifact. Many US spell-checking programs will not recognize the E version.

Sir Alexander Cunningham is known as the Father of Indian Archaeology. He played a significant role in establishing the Archaeological Survey of India and contributed greatly to the study and preservation of India's cultural heritage through archaeological research and excavations.

The archaeologist may conclude that the site was inhabited over a long period of time, possibly indicating a settled and stable community. The presence of different layers of artifacts may suggest changes in the society's technology, culture, or economy over time. Studying the artifacts can provide insights into the daily lives, activities, and beliefs of the people who lived at the site.

Yes, but they choose not to.

Archaeologists concern themselves with human and societal development (like anthropologists) and as such they deal with remains that are too young to have fossilized. If an archaeologist wanted to, they certainly could apply their skills to paleontology, but they leave that to the paleontologists just like the paleontologists leave anthropology to archaeologists and anthropologists.

Dating a walrus tusk usually involves using radiocarbon dating techniques, which can determine the approximate age of the tusk by analyzing the decay of radioactive carbon isotopes present in the tusk. This method can provide an estimation of when the walrus lived and subsequently when the tusk was formed.

North American Indians, however, were less well organized. The Anasazi and the Indians in the Ohio and Mississippi Valleys did establish important trading centers sustained by intensive agriculture.

Yes, the flint blade of a prehistoric ax can be used for radiocarbon dating. The carbon within the tool can provide information on its age based on the decay of the radioactive isotope carbon-14. The technique is commonly used in archaeology to date organic materials up to around 50,000 years old.

Now one knows but people think it is around the area of the temple of taposils manga

Archaeologists work an average 8 hours a day, 40 hours a week, but their work hours vary greatly depending on the kind of Archaeologist and what things they are researching. The 40 hour week schedule is for Federal Archaeologists that work in federal offices or government offices, and Archaeologists that work in museums. They are required to work at least 40 hours a week on average.

In the 1100s, dishes and goblets were often made from materials like metal, such as brass or pewter, and decorated with intricate designs.

The scientific name for upright man is Homo erectus.

Stonehenge is not perfectly symmetrical, but it does exhibit some symmetrical features in its overall layout and design. The arrangement of the standing stones and the alignment of certain elements appear to have been intentionally planned, which creates a sense of balance and harmony in the structure.

Archaeologists found various structures, temples, palaces, and artifacts in Tenochtitlan, the capital city of the Aztec Empire. They also discovered the Templo Mayor, which was a large pyramid dedicated to two Aztec gods, and the main plaza known as the Zocalo. These findings have provided valuable insights into the Aztec civilization and their religious practices.
