Archaeology is not only the hand maid of history, it is also the conservator of art.
Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton
Image
I'm so fascinated with the study of people and why they are the way they are. That's my research and my archaeology, if you will, when I get a role. I'm so excited to attack a part from every angle of what makes a person a person.

Courses in prosody, rhetoric and comparative philology would be required of all students, and every student would have to select three courses out of courses in mathematics, natural history, geology, meteorology, archaeology, mythology, liturgics, cooking.
W. H. Auden
Image
It's very important to reveal the mystery of the pyramid. Science in archaeology is very important. People all over the world are waiting to solve this mystery.
Zahi Hawass
Image
I was a bad student. I liked archaeology actually, I was interested in maybe becoming an archaeologist but I was such a bad student and had such bad grades that I wasn't going to get into any really good college so I fell back on acting.
Ben Stiller

The subject-matter of Archaeology is threefold-the Oral, the Written and the Monumental.
Charles Thomas Newton
Image
The limitations of archaeology are galling. It collects phenomena, but hardly ever can isolate them so as to interpret scientifically it can frame any number of hypotheses, but rarely, if ever, scientifically prove.
David George Hogarth
Image
We are thrown back on the text, for the most part. Archaeology can give us background. It doesn't either confirm or disprove the Bible, but it may illuminate it.
Frank Moore Cross
Image
What's interesting in archaeology is that we always understand other cultures by digging up their cities architecture is almost always a way for us to formulate a diagram of how people used to live.
Jimenez Lai
Image
The trend of all knowledge at the present is to specialize, but archaeology has in it all the qualities that call for the wide view of the human race, of its growth from the savage to the civilized, which is seen in all stages of social and religious development.
Margaret Murray
Image
For me archaeology is not a source of illustrations for written texts, but an independent source of historical information, with no less value and importance, sometimes more importance, that the written sources.
Michael Rostovtzeff
Image
I've always been interested in archaeology, I guess ever since junior high or high school.
Michelle Stuart
Image
Dead archaeology is the driest dust that blows.
Mortimer Wheeler
Image
One of the things that I love to do is travel around the world and look at archaeological sites. Because archaeology gives us an opportunity to study past civilizations, and see where they succeeded and where they failed. Use science to, you know, work backwards and say, 'Well, really, what were they thinking?'
Nathan Myhrvold

I teach myself archaeology, I teach myself Spanish, and that's because it can be fun, it can be useful. So I keep studying. I read books because I still want to study. I don't want to stop.
Philippe Falardeau
Image
So what we can answer [as geneticists] is questions about biology, about biological ancestry. But to make any sense of that historically we have to contextualize it - the archaeology, the linguistic pattern, even the climatology.
Spencer Wells
Image
There can be no doubt that archaeology has confirmed the substantial historicity of Old Testament tradition.
William F. Albright
Image
I could write a treatise on the sudden transformation of life into archaeology
Zbigniew Herbert
Image
Many years ago, when I was once saying sadly to Max it was a pity I couldn't have taken up archaeology when I was a girl, so as to be more knowledgeable on the subject, he said, 'Don't you realize that at this moment you know more about prehistoric pottery than any woman in England?'
Agatha Christie
Image
I always was going to be a writer. The other jobs were just to keep me in food. Though I enjoyed the archaeology.
Catherine Fisher
Image
Science fiction is a kind of archaeology of the future.
Clifton Fadiman
Image
History may be accurate. But archaeology is precise.
Doug Scott
Image
I am convinced that the stratigraphic method will in the future enable archaeology to throw far more light on the history of American culture than it has done in the past.
Edward Sapir
Image
On the whole, mental archaeology was a sordid digging proposition. The evil men did endured, the good was infinitely more ephemeral. You could generally find out whether a man had been a horse-thief, or an embezzler or a wife-beater, if you worked hard enough, but acts of kindness, of charity, a gay spirit, vanished without leaving a trace.
