Extent of Archaeological Research

Archaeological research, despite some coverage in developed countries, still has areas like the Sahara, the Amazon, and underwater sites largely unexplored. Only about 1% of the Sahara has been excavated, and 95% of the Amazon remains uninvestigated. The lack of comprehensive research in these regions leaves open the possibility of undiscovered evidence, highlighting the need for more extensive archaeological exploration.
