I would like to unearth... the Roanoke Colony and find out why they disappeared and if they went anywhere, where did they go.
I would love to search The tomb of King Tut (Egyptian Pharaoh Tutankhamen). In 1922, British archaeologist Howard Carter came upon the tomb, which had been undisturbed since he was buried around 1323 B.C.E. I am in love with Egypt and its ancient history and i would love to know more about King Tut’s funeral and journey to the afterworld. The tomb also included more than 5,000 artifacts, including perfumes and oils, jewelry, statues, and even toys from Tut’s childhood. I hope i will find more and more artifacts and feel the spirit of the Ancients. I will share all my knowledge and emotions with the world.
ANCIENT EGYPT, MUMMIES, PHARAOHS, SAND, SUN AND THE FEELING OF ETERNITY.
I would like to discover "El Dorado" and take all that gold to a museum for the whole world to see, of course also leaving a museum on site.
Don't know if this counts as an artifact, but I'd love to discover an ancient mosquito with fully intact dinosaur DNA so that we could finally know what even one of those creatures looked like! What an amazing feeling that would be.

And then of course it would all go bad, just like in Jurassic Park. But it would be interesting right up until we all got eaten by velociraptors!
I would like to discover what happened to Mohenjo-daro. We still don't know what happened to them to this day and it's truly fascinating. They were pretty advance in many aspects, such as city planning and even had a working sewer system. They are famous for "the Great Bath" which is a massive public bath in the center of the city. We unfortunately can't translate any of the writings we have discovered because there isn't anything to base it off of.
In the spirit of this being a celebration of the world's most famous fictional archeologist (or at least one of the top two), I think my answer would be an artifact of a fictional civilization. Not necessarily the discovery of a fictional object in the real world, but something along the lines of a long-lost manuscript from a famous deceased author. An elaborate description of a unique world that only ever existed in their mind, and that nobody else got the chance to experience or explore.

I don't think we give enough credit to how fictional worlds have shaped our own history, and continue to influence us today. While discovering new Viking ruins, Egyptian tombs, or undiscovered tribes in the Amazon would be amazing and could definitely change the understanding of our past, image if there was something like Middle Earth, Arakis, Narnia, or Hogwarts sitting in a dusty box in somebody's attic. Long forgotten and just waiting to be 'discovered', ready to provide the foundation for thousands of more stories for all of us to build on and share.

We can still feel the echoes of these famous stories in popular culture (and especially video games) today, and for me, uncovering a 'New World' full of characters, stories, and legends to enrich our future culture would be the ultimate discovery.
Ancient Babylon of course! So enticing indeed!
Me gustaría desenterrar la historia de "La caída de Cahokia" ya que sigue siendo un misterio hasta hoy en día como fue que desaparecio lo que alguna vez fue una civilización prospera y poblada.

I would like to dig out myself, because it has been more than a decade I lost it to this chaotic world.
Ancient Sri Lanka. The country has a lot of cool history that's usually overlooked.

I'd like to reach the depths of the oceans and discover the treasures that lie there. Complete civilizations hidden to us, ancient ruins beyond our technology or so outdated that we can't comprehend them. Almost like another world, that we can't see through the opaque mirror of our seas, buried deep within the heavy waters.
Any item from the Library of Alexandria, even one of those book sign-out papyruses.

Anything that actually proves a large group of ancient Israelites wandered in the Egyptian desert for decades.
The tree of eternal Life.
Would be fun to see how the world develops and when our planet gets ultimately scorched in the suns supernova and sucked into its black hole, I will float through the void for an eternity, till I maybe even land on other planets and find extraterrestrial life.

Seems like a nice artefact to have.
The Great Library of Alexandria. It held something between 40,000 & 400,000 scrolls. Even if it's just the lowest estimate, imagine what knowledge was lost when it burned down! Atlantis may not now just be a legendary place if we could read those scrolls. It was part of a research institution dedicated to the 9 muses. So, imagine what else was recorded there. The research they were conducting. We might have been centuries ahead of where we are if we could but read those scrolls! I would love to find what I could of it or, if it were only possible, travel back to before it burned.
