I would propose that scientific archeological expeditions and governmental authorities sell excavated artifacts on the open market.
我建议科学的考古考察和政府部门在公开市场上出售出土的文物。
I assume that most students taking the introductory level class would have little or no experience with archeological research, but that's ok.
我想大多数上入门级课程的学生的考古研究经验都是很少或没有的,但没关系。
What we think we know derives chiefly from archeological evidence, which is before writing--mute evidence that has to be interpreted and is very complicated.
