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...

MODERATORS
I post here all the time, so if you want me to mod here, that would make sense.
Done. :)
Thanks!
I'd love to help out if you still need mods. I've never been a mod before, if that matters. Unless you count a stint on an old forum 15+yrs ago.
Hey! Thanks for the interest! We're good on the archaeology one as I am holding some places for potential academics. Are there any other ones on my list in my profile you'd have any interest in? I am trying to build small teams to allow people to dip in and out with life and make things democratic.
Anthropology has always been a favorite mine as well. There are others on there like the earth sciences or geospatial that I'm interested in, but tbh I think Anthro is the only other sub that I've studied enough as a layperson to be able to effectively mod.
Sorry for the delayed response. Life got hectic there for a bit.
No sweat, anthro sounds like a great choice then. Can you make a quick comment on the mod post there? You have to post on the sub to be modded. Lemmy quirk. :)
That makes sense. I fully support making things more Democratic, but we do need SME's modding as well. We have enough uneducated 'experts' spreading misinfo as it is.
I'm happy to help out in any of the communities that I'm likely to frequent. I'm not so into archaeology, but I'd do anything biology/programming/scicomm related
How about a bit of c/biodiversity?
I'm game to share the load as well. Not so much archeology, but biology, physics, chemistry, pretty much all STEM fields would be great.
Peep the ones I moderate and see if there's any of interest? :)
Biodiversity would be the closest to my interests. But if @kevin would like it that's fine by me ๐
Happy to have a few people!
I mean, biodiversity feels a bit far afield for me, but happy to take it on.
I made a few others since this comment. Take a peek at my profile and see. :) No pressure, though.
