Following in the footsteps of press cartoons, which took off in the 19th century, humorous cartoons are still very present in the media and continue to question current events on a daily basis. Archaeologists have been depicted in these cartoons for over 150 years, and their appearance has evolved along with the understanding of their discipline. The discreet and eccentric scholar of the 19th century has become the field scientist that everyone knows and appreciates today. Each archaeologist's drawing included in the catalog is imbued with a friendly mischief that echoes scientific realities and issues. The Archaeological Museum of Oise invites us to explore them and reveal the profession in a new light, that of humor. The museum was fortunate to be able to count on the mobilization of renowned cartoonists and to welcome Bramley, who skillfully illustrated the world of Vendeuil-Caply's archaeologists, as a resident.
