Archaeology: the study of the human past through its material remains.
Artifact: any portable object made, modified, or used by humans.

Curation: the care, management, and use of archaeological collections. Care means to prevent deterioration, management means that collections are organized and accessible, and use means making collections available for scientific research, public education and cultural use.
