Images of Archaeological Sites

Our collection of photos of archaeological sites from around the world is a compelling source for image researchers, publishers and educators. Organized largely by region, civilization and site, the photographs and the accompanying captions detail the site, structures, and cultures represented there. Some featured sites like the Pyramids of Giza are well-known, but others are more obscure, such as the Buddhist Vihara in Paharpur, Bangladesh.
