Archaeology in Ethiopia

---

For several years, the UCLA Cotsen Institute of Archaeology and the Institute for Field Research have partnered with local communities in Ethiopia’s Tigray region to uncover the area’s rich history. Little is known about the region between the era of early hominids and medieval times, and it was once thought to be largely uninhabited. The team’s work is now revealing a significant archaeological record, shedding light on a past as important as the famed sites of Axum.
