Archaeology (Civ6)

An Archaeologist at an Antiquity Site, ready to excavate an artifact.

After you excavate, you may choose between one of two Artifacts to discover.

In Civilization VI, Archaeology deals with Artifacts that are extracted from Antiquity Sites and Shipwrecks using Archaeologists and then taken to Archaeological Museums. These Artifacts can be kept for Culture and Tourism bonuses, or traded with other civilizations.
