 | | Archaeology Books |  | | Archaeology is an invaluable complement to the historical record. Through the study of artifacts and remains of structures found buried in the ground, archaeologists are able to piece together a more concrete picture of how people actually lived, giving history a much more tangible face. Sometimes, such as in the case of Jamestown, the archaeological data can call accepted history into question or even contradict it altogether. | |
