1. "it is very rare in archaeology to work on organic materials"
2. Archaeology or archeology 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 can be considered both a
social science and a branch of the humanities.
3. Archaeologists conduct surveys to search for particular
