Wikidata:WikiProject Archaeology

This WikiProject aims to act as an umbrella for any items, properties, datasets and other projects in Wikidata that are related to archaeology (Q23498) in general. The idea is to provide a single entry point to quickly find already existing stuff and to collect whatever is missing and should be added to Wikidata. The category [[Category:Archaeology Wikiprojects]] can be used to help in collecting other more specialised archaeology projects under the general archaeology umbrella.
