Archaeology gives us a unique glimpse into the daily lives of people from other eras. Until the late 1800s, when people discovered ancient sites, they took whatever seemed valuable and ignored or destroyed the rest. This practice changed partly because of a woman named Amelia Edwards. Edwards tackled Victorian gender roles throughout her life, first as a writer and old-fashioned “adventurer,” and later as a powerful advocate for professional, scientific archaeology.

People can learn about everyday lives in ancient times through archeology. About two hundred years ago, the practice of archeology included taking valuable items from ancient sites and ignoring or destroying the other items. This practice changed partly because of a woman named Amelia Edwards. Edwards not only challenged the expectations of the time for women but also transformed archaeology, so it became more professional and scientific.
