Archaeology IN

A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots.

Since its inception in 2012
ArchaeologyIN — the Archaeology Information Network
has endeavoured to stimulate interest and research in archaeology and
cultural heritage protection, highlight issues of common concern and draw
attention to the ongoing problem of site looting and the
sale of illicit antiquities.

Da’esh, however, was not the first to have damaged, destroyed, looted, or neglected cultural heritage.

Professional integrity is the cornerstone of ArchaeologyIn’s credibility. Information disseminated through the network maintains a code of ethics centering on public trust, truthfulness, fairness, independence, and accountability.

In disseminating information we cannot always guarantee ‘truth’, but getting the facts right is our cardinal principle and we strive for accuracy, give all the relevant facts we have, and ensure that what we post has been been checked. When we cannot corroborate information
we say so.

Here are a sampling of some of our recent posts. To follow along with country-specific archaeological news, please check our social media links for the countries we cover in the drop-down menu at the top of the page.
