Until 2022 archaeological research, excavation work and presentation were assigned to two separate units within the National Museum. One of these was the Department of Archaeology, which conducts excavations and research of outstanding national significance (like for eg.

In addition to their research, the members of the department take part in university teaching and in the organisation of scientific life.
