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.
