Archaeology is the quick and addictive game of lost treasures and tricky trades!
Working as an archaeologist, you’ll discover ancient artifacts and search for the right pieces to complete torn parchments, broken stone tablets and other long forgotten valuables.
By trading shrewdly at the local marketplace you’ll increase the value of your collection. Sell your treasures to the museum at just the right time for maximum profit. If you are lucky, you might find an ancient chest packed with goodies, but you'll need the right keys to unlock it for the big haul. And beware! Cunning thieves also lurk around the dig site, ready to steal your prize discovery!
