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...

I occasionally forget to take off my birthstone ring at work (not allowed to have jewellery in certain areas) and feel like a real dingus
It seems this is an ancient human experience :')
I'm surprised they didn't have a little sachet or something to put them in
You were supposed to bath naked. The article says that they were concerned that thieves would steal anything left outside the baths. The best strategy was not to bring things of value to the baths but then you'd look like a poor person
Maybe they did. These are the people that forgot?
