American Indian archaeological sites

American Indian archaeological sites are locations where ancient peoples lived, worked, and left behind artifacts such as tools, pottery, and structures. These sites reveal how Native Americans adapted to different environments and developed diverse cultures over thousands of years. They include villages, burial grounds, rock art, and ceremonial sites. Studying these sites helps us understand their history, social organization, spiritual practices, and interactions with the landscape. Archaeologists carefully excavate and analyze artifacts to piece together stories of the past, respecting the cultural significance of these locations while expanding knowledge about Native American heritage.
