Unearthing the Keys

Unearthing the Keys told the history of archaeology in the islands — the methods archaeologists use to carefully uncover the past, and the finds themselves: tools, pottery, shipwreck artifacts, and everyday objects that tell the story of the people who lived on and shaped these islands.
