ANTH 3320 - Buried Cities, Ancient Lives

USA.gov - As the U.S. Government's official web portal, USA.gov makes it easy for the public to get U.S. Government information and services on the web.   An ever-growing amount of state and local information is included in the search results.

While this may not seem like a logical place to research ancient history, the portal includes information from several federal agencies:

• Numerous museums around the nation that have researchers and exhibits on ancient civilizations 
• NASA links to satellite images used to trace ancient river beds
• Various US embassies provide information on US research in foreign nations or funded federal agencies
• The Library of Congress Map Division has digitized historic maps of ancient civilizations
