To find their sites, archaeologists today rely heavily on systematic survey methods and a variety of high-technology tools and techniques.

Most archaeological sites, however, are discovered by archaeologists who have set out to look for them.

In the late 1800s British archaeologist Sir Arthur Evans combed antique dealers’ stores in Athens, Greece.

In another case, American archaeologists Rene Million and George Cowgill spent years systematically mapping the entire city of Teotihuacan in the Valley of Mexico near what is now Mexico City.

How do archaeologists know where to find what they are looking for when there is nothing visible on the surface of the ground? Typically, they survey and sample ( ' , make test excavations on) large areas of terrain to determine where excavation will yield useful information.

Ground surveys allow archaeologists to pinpoint the places where digs will be successful.

British archaeologist Howard Carter knew that the tomb of the Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun existed from information found in other sites.

Archaeologists commonly use computers to map sites and the landscapes around sites.

Archaeologists also may locate buried remains by using such technologies as ground radar, magnetic- field recording, and metal detector.

Airborne technologies, such as different types of radar and photographic equipment carried by airplanes or spacecraft, allow archaeologists to learn about what lies beneath the ground without digging.
