Humans and nonhuman entities and their lives are intricately interwoven into each other both in the practices of archaeologists who study the past at the present and in the past itself, which the archaeological research helps us to understand. Engaging with the contemporary multispecies practices of making and taking of archaeological information, the aim of this chapter is to provide an insight into archaeology as an example of an informational enterprise where the multispecies and more-than-human nature of information practices is particularly apparent. In parallel, the chapter draws on archaeological practice to provide stratagems for approaching other, both obviously and less apparently, multispecies information habitats information scientists are studying, including the critical need to problematise information and information behaviour as (only) human concepts; being attentive to nonhuman information practices is difficult and requires specific competences; augment the idea of what is information and when; and how informative things are interconnected, differ across contexts and time.  a978-1-003-58342-4
