Abstract
The basic concept of this research departs from the view that cultural heritage has many benefits for the interests of religion, social, education, science, technology, culture and tourism. Departing from the concept above, the problem of this research is, to what extent the contribution of archeology to tourism in this case is cultural tourism. The purpose of this study is to reveal the extent of archaeological contributions to tourism. This is important to put forward because of the assumption that tourism as a science cannot be separated from culture in this case is material culture or archeology. The method used is an explanatory qualitative approach to public relations (public relations model), which emphasizes efforts to improve the archaeological image in the eyes of the community. The results of this study reveal that archeology has a very large contribution to the development of cultural tourism.

Summary
The word archeology comes from the Greek language, namely Archeos which means ancient and logos which means science. Archeology can be interpreted as the study of ancient relics that have come to our hands today. The goal of archeology, or what is called the archaeological paradigm, a part from studying the process of cultural change through archaeological evidence, answers the question of how and why culture is always changing through its cultural materials. The view above does not differ from Binford's opinion which states that the goal is (1) to describe cultural history (2) to reconstruct the way of human life in the past, and (3) to explain the process of cultural change. Since the aim of archeology is to understand human culture, this science is included in the humanities group
