- "Basic rule of xenoarchaeology: You don't unleash a foreign technology into a population center, especially one with a man-machine interface."
- ―Captain Golah

A xenoarchaeologist
Xenoarchaeology was the study of vanished alien cultures through the scientific analysis of the artifacts left behind.[2] It was closely related to xenosociology.
Known xenoarchaeologists included the Rodian Suz Tanwa,[3] the Brizzit Tzizvvt,[4] the Sullustan Blibbie,[5] and the Human doctors Anki Pace,[6] Fasha Dansun,[7] Angrail Ryhl,[8] Henrietya Antilles, Garv Debble, and Milanda Vorgan. Dr. Shilaea Motacc, an experienced amateur in archaeology, was a professional of different sciences.[5] The Kallidahin were considered xenoarchaeologists, though they only researched their own possible ancestors, the Eellayin.
The worlds of the Gree Enclave were especially attractive to xenoarchaeologists, as they contained exotic artifacts and advanced technology since lost to the wider galaxy.[9]
Several governments had organizations devoted to xenoarchaeology. The Imperial Reclamation Service of the reconstituted Sith Empire was involved in the field, while the New Republic had a New Republic Xenoarchaeology Division.
