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.

But what do you know about archaeology? Take this quiz and find out.

I invite you now to take a walk through time. Get into the time tunnel and discover interesting facts about people from the past.
