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...

“P.J Féret, a native of Dieppe, member of various intellectual societies, carried out excavations here in January 1825. He continues his investigations in this vast area known as the Cité de Limes or Caesar’s Camp.”
Féret was a local notable, and municipal records confirm that he conducted a first dig at the site 200 years ago.

Looks like a 200 year old joint. I once found a 20 year old joint in a graduation card we'd never opened. We still smoked it, probably had lost some potency but it still tasted fine and it worked as expected.
“P.J Féret, a native of Dieppe, member of various intellectual societies, offers you the boof across 200 years of time, wyd?"
Michael Crichton's "Timeline" (1999) says hello.
Keep digging, you'll find eyeglasses and Jeep tracks, I'm sure.
