Archaeological objects

Scope note

Use for articles found in contexts of archaeological research, more specifically, those unearthed from periods before usually the 19th century and from extinct cultures. For articles originating in any culture still living or known through relatively recent history when those articles are the concern of ethnographic or ethnological study, prefer "ethnographic objects."
