Back in the Lab

Once objects are labeled and removed from a site, they are taken to a lab, relabeled, and placed in a database. 

Archaeologists use this information to put together pieces of the past. 

It takes a great deal of education, training, patience, and attention to detail to work as an archaeologist.
