Players that are looking to increase their Tourism in Civilization 6, may want to enlist the help of Archaeologists. Indeed, these civilian units are capable of bringing Artifacts to a civilization, and these will in turn put fans one step closer to obtaining a Cultural victory in Civ 6. However, not every player will know exactly how to get Archaeologists in Civilization 6, and this guide is here to help those fans.

The first step to building one of Civilization 6's Archaeologists is to construct an Archaeological Museum. This is a multi-part process that begins with researching the Drama and Poetry Civic and unlocking the Theater Square specialty district. When that is done, players will then need to build a Theater Square and construct an Amphitheater within it.

With these prerequisites met, the stage is now set for an Archaeological Museum, but Civilization 6 fans will need to unlock the ability to construct one first. That is done by researching the Humanism Civic found further up the tree, and once that research is complete players can place the Archaeological Museum inside of their Theater Square. Then all that is left is to get an Archaeologist in Civ 6 and fill that new Museum with Artifacts.

Very simply, Archaeologists are unlocked by researching the Natural History Civic, and fortunately this research is boosted by the construction of an Archaeological Museum. Then all a player must do is produce an Archaeologist and send it out to find the Artifacts that are located at Antiquity Sites, which appear on Civilization 6 map after discovering the Natural History Civic, and Shipwrecks, which appear on the map after discovering the Cultural Heritage Civic.

For full clarity, the process for recovering Artifacts in Civ 6 is to send an Archaeologist to a tile with one of the aforementioned sites and then activate it. Players will then be able to assign the recovered Artifact to their Archaeological Museums, and it is advisable to display Artifacts from the same era in the same Museum. Indeed, this can lead to a significant Theme Bonus that players will not want to miss, as it doubles the Museum's overall Tourism output.

Civilization 6 is available for iOS, Linux, Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
